Bingo.
Amazon sales rank (in all books) for the core gift set before the leaked PDFs appeared: #7. Today: #5.
This was going to happen eventually (what with it being the 21st century and all), although the amount of time before the release date was a surprise.
How should
WotC react? They should go back to the expressed plan of offering PDF editions of the book to anyone who has a hard copy for a couple of bucks. I'd pay it without blinking.
If you want PDFs alone with no printed books, say 75% of the cover price. I'd totally pay that for DM-oriented supplements where I prefer an electronic form anyway. (But D&DI is no good because, 1) no net on the MBTA and 2) goes away when you stop paying.)
And yet another word from our sponsors
