Cataclysm-dda: Recipes binder

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It's kind of annoying to carry 20 books around just to keep all the recepies, and even if one book is fully contained in another nobody got time to check over 30 recipes to see if it's true.

Describe the solution you'd like
A way to copy recipes from a book into a common storage.
I was thinking to have sort of a binder system - if you have a pen (permanent marker?) and enough paper, you can copy recipes from a book and binder would grow in size. It would take maybe (1 min)(recipe lvl) and 5(recipe lvl) from marker charges. (just for fun these numbers could be based on item description length =) )

Describe alternatives you've considered
Another interesting solution would be to just have like a memorize action, maybe it takes all the same resources as above, but doesn't add to any binder, just marks recipe as memorized.

Additional context
Also adds some uses for pen and papers, which are almost useless as of now.

I also dream that the necessary / all recipes could be recorded for example on sd-card using a tablet or laptop.

I would like to see more survivor note-taking in general, especially as a way to reduce memory loss.

Certainly makes you think that the Encyclopedia Britannica DVD (or similar CD) could be the most valuable loot in all of New England. I would be lost without the internet to google for. A disk version of encyclopedia would be OP!

Good idea but if we are talking about complex recipes, i suppose you would be able to copy it given enough time, but it takes a long time to copy electronics recipes with their complex diagrams.
Edit: Also, it would take a lot more paper (and space) to contain a hand-written recipe as upposed to a typed-out recipe. In that case a digital storage as per BX442's suggestion would be attractive.
