[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 4966827, member: 177"] What's more, I hear that often from people who also say they prefer the PDF format to the print format, in general. Generally speaking, you get to pay less for a product when it is similarly less convenient for you to use. Furniture you assemble yourself is typically cheaper than stuff that is assembled for you. if the PDF is actually more useful to you, you should expect to pay the higher price. And I think that may be the logic behind Wotc keeping PDF prices high. Those of use who prefer dead-tree format don't want the PDFs, and are not likely to buy them. Those who prefer PDFs should, in theory, be willing to pay for the extra convenience the PDF offers them. If you aren't willing to pay more for what is actually for you a convenience, honestly, you want to have your cake and eat it too. I don't think you get to gripe about not being able to do that.
