For me it has to be:
- Helix mattress ($1,217). Sleep is great.
- Home gym power cage & weights (~$1,000). Look good, feel good, get strong.
- Netgear Nighthawk AXE7800 ($339). No more random, annoying internet disconnects/slowness.
- Books ($0 @ library)
- “Ultralearning” - Scott Young (how to learn efficiently)
- “Enlightenment Now” - Steven Pinker (the world overall is improving)
- “The Bogleheads’ Guide to Investing” - Taylor Larimore (how to invest)
- PS5 ($500). So many great games like witcher 3, god of war, spiderman.
I’m searching for some more deep value purchases. Give me what you’ve got.
E-Reader, I’ve put hours and hours into that thing and it’s still going strong. Maybe I’ll upgrade it at some point, but it’s showing no signs of ageing yet. I love reading, but I don’t have space for a huge library of books (believe me I wish I did).
I just wish there was a color E reader. Not a full blown tablet, just E ink but color. I’d like to read graphic novels on it.
Those already exist! Pretty hefty price (compared to your usual ereader) but very much useable. Onyx Boox has a few models iirc
The technology exists, just not very common.
Pocketbook and boox have color e ink options but they’re pretty expensive, like over $300.
It’s being worked on but so far the colours aren’t very vibrant.
My local grocery stores are installing e-ink price signs that can display in black and red, so it’s just a matter of time.
But do you really have the books? Or are you hooked up to some cloud service of some asshole company?

Honestly outside of moving to a more open platform
Kindle -> Kobo -> eInk Android/iPad (whatever floats your boat)
There’s no point in upgrading since these devices literally haven’t been updated hardware wise since 2014. That said I have a Color eink device and for me it was worthe the move, but I wouldn’t do it again.
