[QUOTE="SiderisAnon, post: 3716325, member: 44949"] That may be a little harder than last time. It seems like in at least the PDF market, the consumer is a little more savvy. People pay attention to reviews, sites talk about the products, and the names of really bad products seem to get around. (At least in my experience.) Based partially on my own experience, it seems like people picked up the shiny new products because they were there, but then as the market glutted had to start being very choosy in what they were going to spend their money on. Now I won't deny that some of the garbage products I've purchased in the past haven't made me leery of new products, but I believe that they've make me more picky rather than made me unwilling to buy at all. I am hoping that with the new 3rd party products that are bound to come out with 4th Edition, the garbage will quickly be recognized and the good stuff will be noted, so that we can quickly send the message to these companies through our spending habits. Then again, I may be proven completely and totally wrong. After all, I know of at least one print company that has been putting out absolute rubbish as far as quality since the late 80's at least, and they still keep selling their books. [/QUOTE]
