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.
