What are some of the best purchases of your life?

For me it has to be:

  1. Helix mattress ($1,217). Sleep is great.
  2. Home gym power cage & weights (~$1,000). Look good, feel good, get strong.
  3. Netgear Nighthawk AXE7800 ($339). No more random, annoying internet disconnects/slowness.
  4. 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)
  5. 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.

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.

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.

Pocketbook and boox have color e ink options but they’re pretty expensive, like over $300.
