I had the Dungeon Notebook. It was fun. I played it until I got bored, which was quick, then gave it away.

The ability to "give away" these little games are part of the fun. I'd like to see a game like this where "giving it away" is part of the game. Something you can pass around a school or a con. Like an analog version of Chain World, which was a mini-Minecraft-on-a-USB-stick that you were supposed to pass on. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_World )

Wait until you hear about PaperBooks. They're like a Kindle download except, once you finish reading one, you can give it to anyone else to read. And BookNotes are completely portable - anything you write in it stays with the PaperBook and can be read by any other person.

You can give away Kindles too.

Yes. But that would be more like giving someone a bookshelf.

A bookshelf where all the books disappear unless you also give the person all your household purchase history.
