[QUOTE="Hstio, post: 4748605, member: 48800"] I hate to say it, but I'm from the older segment of the community (late 1970's crowd) that now has the income to purchase books full price, but has lost the luxury of having a lot of time. I'm not a big fan of pdfs as I prefer hard copy and hate spending even more time at a computer screen after a full day at work. I get pdf's when they are the only thing available (pdf only companies or the book is so rare I can't justify the cost of the hard copy) or if I'm not sure about the setting/game line and I want to try it out. The free version of Exalted 2nd edition and the insanely cheap hard copy Savage World rules, are good marketing and aare hopefully a way to draw in more customers/players. With the current sale on dfs, I got off the fence and purchased Reality Deviant Publishers Blood Throne and Reign of Discordia for True 20, books I probably won't be able to use as is but books I would like to read. Normally, if I like what I see in pdf, I try to track down in hard copy. I really, really, don't want to read a 300-400 page document on pdf. I'd prefer to have the dead tree version for reading and study and the pdf for quick reference and the amazingly handy search capability. Hstio [/QUOTE]
