No discount for current book owners either. The only thing good I see about this is that you can get an electronic version that's been professionally done, though limited to it's own special reader app, and it's an official version. (ianal) Of course, years ago the courts declared that media shifting for your own personal use was legal. Sharing that with someone else still isn't as that's considered distributing. But if you own the book, and somehow acquire a pdf or ebook or whatever of that same book, as long as you own the actual book (no trading it in or anything), then you can legally have media shifted copy. Of course if for some reason you call down the wrath of copyright lawyers, that won't help you in court as they have way more persistence than we have money to fight them off with.Then there's the PC users that are left out in the dust. Well, it's not a perfect solution, but you can run Android Apps on your PC using programs like Andy. ( <a href="https://www.andyroid.net/" target="_blank">https://www.andyroid.net/</a> )  There are lots of others out there, but Andy is free, and in my opinion has beaten all the others I've tried, even paid versions and a couple that are in android devkits.  So you have a number of choices for this option, I just listed my favorite. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Overall, I think this a definitely not worth the price from what few details we have, and am very doubtful it can ever be worth that kind of price in the first place. Though I will admit that I want it, and it can be useful for gaming, though with some people, letting them use electronics at the table is a big no-no. (More than once I've heard a GM declare things like, "<player name> Stop texting or I'm going to break your phone!", or other things to convey that same idea.)I'll give it a pass until they either drop it's price significantly, or give a big discount to us loyal gamers that already own those 3 books.</blockquote>
