[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 4370326, member: 56189"] Yeah, not like there's a colour code to the powers... All of which is irrelevant. If the PDF was the only version, then this would be a factor. However, it's not. PDF sales never came into the purview of their budget for this project. They were going to give the damn things away. All the production costs associated with 4e are based on a return from sales of the hard copies. Not only that, but the effort they have put into the PDF is close to nil. They haven't entered errata, they haven't provided bookmarks, they haven't included hyperlinks or embedded media of any kind. They've just hit "Print to PDF" from an InDesign file and emailed it to a friggin' online distributor. The distributor is doing all the hard work. It's their advertising that's up on EN World here. It's their administrative costs going into the distribution method. It's their server bandwidth. No, I stand by what I said. For WotC, this PDF is almost 100% profit to them and they should be ashamed for charging those prices. [/QUOTE]
