I don't buy too much music anymore but I preferred DVDs. I do have a 
changer but I've ripped most of them. It's hard stuffing 100 DVDs into a 
phone. 

I have a few video DVDs including a couple in Netflix mailers. At the end 
they said to not bother returning them. I do miss the feature where I 
could see which DVDs I'd rented. I'm not good with titles and a couple of 
times I've been a few minutes into a streaming video before I realized I'd 
seen it before. At least with Kindle books Amazon has my complete history 
for better or worse.
