[QUOTE="Cody C. Lewis, post: 7685470, member: 6802841"] Maybe I should clarify a point: I am personally in support of releasing PDFs first and foremost. I suggest an app as a compromise. We all want PDFs, but the game is coming up on a year and the only PDFs we have available are either ones that someone else has scanned and have been pirated, or ones that we have taken the time to scan ourselves. So if the options presented to me are those, nothing, or an app; I would choose the app every time. [MENTION=22424]delericho[/MENTION] See my above response. I agree with you. But we aren't getting that as it stands. So it does appear that right now, Wizards is in fact, doing nothing innovative. [MENTION=6706231]Koloth[/MENTION] 1.) Absolutely right. The app would have to noninvasive. 2.) Why couldn't the app be set to download to your device like the books I read on Kindle? So what you're saying is the app would have to have few to no permissions and allow you to download the books to your device, not supported through the cloud, and you would be interested? Or is there a third objection? [MENTION=52905]darjr[/MENTION] see the above two responses. I think the app is the only clear solution to allowing us to have the information in a 'take with us anywhere' digital format. Any app done would have to be: Downloadable to the device, not based off of a cloud service Available for ipad/iphone, android & windows at launch Nonintrusive Reasonably priced (Either sub based or hard purchase) Well constructed, both in design and functionality [/QUOTE]
