I see so many of them around today but I am always skeptical of the scientific validity of them. I'm happy to pay a reasonable amount and I greatly value privacy. Main thing for me would be trying to improve memory.

Any recommendations are appreciated! If I need to go out and buy a DS and a copy of Brain Age, so be it.

Or just do them on a computer and stop being a peasant.

I have never been able to read a book on a computer. It just feels completely unnatural, even though I read a ton of articles, forum posts, manuals, etc. on my phone or computer. Not a peasant because they could historically usually not read let alone afford a book, but I do love actual physical books.

Same! I've read 1 (one) book in my life on a kindle and hated it. Physical books are just really cool, or maybe it's just preference because that's what I grew up with.

An actual e-ink Kindle or a tablet pretending to be a Kindle?

Nah it was a real e-ink kindle. It just wasn't for me i guess.
