Message: <blockquote data-quote="Greenstone.Walker" data-source="post: 7722162" data-attributes="member: 6788312">A tool containing content from a large number of printed books, and the offline version is a mobile app designed for a product with a 5inch screen? Priceless.There are players in both games I am in with mobile devices. Any question always seems to be met with minutes of tapping on the onscreen keyboard and then scrolling to find the right page and paragraph.Perhaps I'm showing my age, but when I GM games, I have two or three books or ringbinders open on the table in front of me and a few more books on the desk behind. Monsters are written on 100×150 index cards clipped to the inside of the GM screen, so I don't have to flip any pages. When I need to look something up, I can open a book in my hands without having to disturb anything on the desktop. This is a setup that a digital workspace just can't replicate, even with multiple monitors. Books might be cumbersome to carry (as Silvva states on the forum) but at least I can take them to a room at the Uni (where I currently game) and to a FLGS (for AL games) and to a mate's lounge. Books don't require power bricks and cables. Books don't require Internet access (something I don't have access to at 2 of the places I regularly play games). On the other hand… WOTC aren't stopping making books, so their delivery model is still applicable to old coots like me <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> and to people that don't play games places where electricity and Internet is available.I would, however, be very interested in experiences of anyone who is using this tool in a multi-monitor PC setup.</blockquote>
