Since everyone else made the points for the other parts, I did not repeat them.The major sticking point is simply reading text, not the use of content or reference there-of. It is easier on the eyes and more comfortable for people to read from a physically printed source. That has been proven scientifically.This is the strongest reasoning presented FOR PDFs that I've seen, but the previous points above outweigh this (potential?) benefit. In the end, the company making the product in question needs a positive profit at the end of the day. If that need cannot be met, then any customer benefit, potential or otherwise, is moot and useless. I suggest working out with a strong set of upper-body strength excercises! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> As Umbran pointed out as well, this is actually a con in the eyes of developers in regards to protection of rights. While it is true that using these things in your home game is fair use, as you are not making money from it, these things can be abused which ruin it for everyone. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
