Get some reading material.

There's nothing at the airport and nothing with 40 minutes of the airport.

You could take a bus downtown, but you'd only have about 30 minutes to spend
there. 5-60 minutes to wait for the bus, let say 30. 45 minutes to downtown
and 45 minutes back. That's 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Add 70 minutes to check back,
go through security and have 15 minutes to board. Now we're at 3:10 to 3:40.
Or spend $130 on taxi fairs, and get the spine-tingling sensation of riding a
taxi when the driver has spend less than a year driving during his entire
life. Denver taxi's are the worst. 17 year old teenagers are better drivers.

I'd rather spend 3 hours reading then 3 hours on traveling, in security lines,
etc.
