So I spend money on old cars, Battered spends money on alcohol and alimony
what do you spend your hard-earned money on? Got a hobby? Got a business? Got a grasping girlfriend that withholds on you if she doesn't get shiny things? Got a boyfriend that withholds on you unless ahaha yeah, that'd never happen.

Hey, look at it this way, the bickering's likely to stay in the other thread.

I prefer them in digital, except for cook books.
With a Retina-type screen, they're better on the eyes, I like knowing how long i've got left in a chapter, I can look up a character/object/place on some books unobtrusivly, I don't do any rich-books but I'd imagine video'n'shit for educational would be good. I like that whatever device i've got, it's got my latest page read too.

A system for some kind of digital signage and transfer of ownership is what they really need.
A way of maybe attaching an autheticated author (say, if they've got an app open and are confirmed to be who they are), where they can add video/sound as well as pictures.

The other two are pretty mild without lacking flavour. The best adjective I can think of is the laughably poor "strong". Not strong as in high alcohol, but strong as in how a Stilton is stronger than a Danish Blue.

There's currently no EU regulations as to what you can put in them, so some of them might be just as bad as ciggies.

Plus, they do still contain nicotine, which is why they're easy to move over to.
