[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 3726494, member: 48965"] I believe it's been stated that there will be a "nominal" fee to get the downloads from your book code. Take that as you will, I find it kind of shady. I mean it's not like you didn't buy the book already. Now I believe that they've also stated it'll be like a dollar to get your downloads(independent of your actual subscription) and for some reason this dollar is charged, because it costs to make the PDF of the book and somehow(I'm not exactly sure how.) it's suppose to discourage someone from stealing the codes out of the book and using them without purchasing it. I see a dollar as, individually, not much...but when you add up a dollar from even half of the total people who purchase a PHB...it's alot of revenue for essentially a duplicate e-version of a product you already purchased, and it's on top of the subscription if you have it. IMHO it should really be free to those who purchased the book, even if you have to e-mail them the code from a valid address or something to confirm. I look to Paizo(a much smaller company) who is doing this for those that subscribe to their Pathfinder product and wonder why WotC can't. [/QUOTE]
