[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 3849791, member: 5143"] No, it says you can access the content online while filling out or updating your character sheet. They are talking about the character creator application. From everything I've heard about this application, it is tied directly to online. When you click on the feats tab, for instance, it goes to the DDI service, gets the currently available list of all feats from all books released and displays them for you. If you click on a feat to see the details of it, it goes online checks to see if you've paid the nominal fee to activate that book in DDI and then displays a description of the feat if you have or shows you no detailed information if you haven't. As for the book itself. Who knows what format it will be in. Wizards was asked if it would be a PDF file a while back and they said they hadn't decided yet. From what I've heard paying the nominal fee does two things: it gives you a digital copy of a book (which you can get even if you are not a DDI subscriber) and if you ARE a DDI subscriber it also unlocks that books content in "all of the databases". Which means being able to see the full descriptions of all the feats and abilities in that book in the character creator, likely being able to bring up a sheet of stats for monsters in the virtual table, and possibly other databases that they haven't really announced yet.
