[QUOTE="RichGreen, post: 7678952, member: 2039"] Really interesting stuff - thanks for posting! I work in ebooks and love the convenience of a lightweight eReader when I'm travelling or commuting, but I still love print books too. If a novel or non-fiction book is by a favourite author or is illustrated or beautifully produced, I like to have a print copy to go on my overflowing bookshelves; for everything else, I buy ebooks. For comics, I've gone completely digital and read via Comixology on my iPad. I haven't got the space at home to add to the boxes of comics I bought in the early 90s! RPGs are a bit different - I love a big hardback RPG book like Eyes of the Stone Thief, Southlands, or the 5e core rulebooks but the convenience of being able to reference hundreds of PDFs on an iPad while gaming is brilliant. Pelgrane's approach gives me the best of both worlds. I also buy lots of PDFs through drivethrurpg.com, including short PDF-only supplements and adventures, old D&D classics, and new games I'm interested in reading that are on offer but I might not get round to playing. If I like something enough, I'll pick up the print copy later on. I've bought a few Bundles of Holding too - they offer amazing value. As a publisher, I included my book Parsantium: City at the Crossroads in a recent Bundle of Holding, and was very happy with the results. My main issue now is finding time to actually READ all the great stuff I've bought and maybe even use some of it in a game ;) Cheers Rich [/QUOTE]
