[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7500995, member: 6704184"] This would only seem true with a shallow understanding of what DDB provides. Having the PHB on DDB is strictly more valuable than having a PDF of the PHB. By far. Like, I can't even fathom how one could equate them. [MENTION=467]Reynard[/MENTION] DDB is better than other digital versions of the books because of a few factors. 1, Indexed searching with in depth filters 2, hyperlinks 3, multiple ways to find information. You can either open the PHB via the Compendium tab, or go to Characters>Classes>Official>Wizard, and look there, or just type in Spellbook, and scroll down. 4, easy access to what is being playtested in unearthed arcana 5, great way to tinker with homebrew, and maintain a searchable collection of it, and then use it in conjuction with official material. 6, mobile app. it's still in beta, but it already has offline viewing of the books, and will eventually have the full functionality of the service. So, even if DDB goes away, you still have whatever books you downloaded to your devices from the app. Also, if you get the Legendary Bundle, it's all 15% down from normal amazon prices, including anything you ever buy on the service going forward. Also, if you just by the core books right now, and decided to buy the bundle later, they discount the bundle by the cost of the books you already purchased. OH, and if you watch Critical Role, there is probably a discount code for DDB, or if not there will be one again soon. Last time I saw one it was 25% off. That includes getting the Legendary Bundle, which in case you didn't know, is everything punblished by wotc for 5e so far, including stuff like the Tortle Package, and the Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron. I can't really tell you if the subscriptions are worth it, though. We're considering it, because we share our account with the whole group right now, and 6 character slots isn't enough, but honestly its not that hard to make due without. the service is fully functional and incredibly useful without a sub.
