I know that I frequently use recipes from epicurious and allrecipes, and just refer to them online rather than printing them out (hurray for laptops, boo for cooking-covered-fingers touching keyboards...) I'd love to be able to have digital versions of my favorite recipes without having to type them up myself. But what would be even better - and will never happen - is if there were some sort of standard for digital recipe cards, sort of a cooking equivalent of the vCard, so that you could view recipe cards from various digital cookbooks all in the same program, rather than having individual e-books.
