D&D isn't the same as say, The New York Times.Unless you're doing a term paper or soemthing, the NYT isn't designed to be used in any way other then reading it. Once you're done with it, you toss it aside, or leave it on the floor of the can for the next guy to read.D&D isn't designed to just be read. It's designed to be used. Stuff from it is designed to be taken and moved into other formats, copied onto adventure papers, refferenced over and over for character info, for location info...My Digital stuff is INFINITELY more usable to me then my books for these things. As a player, I cut and paste the feats that I use, the spells that I use, the abilities that I use, so that I can print out a "book" custom tailored to my new character.As a DM I carry the books I use in my pocket ready to go no matter if I have a few minutes to prepare at work, or if I'm at home. Cut and paste is easier and less time consuming then retyping or rewriting the info. Search functions work faster then indexes. With the magazine in this format, I can choose the articles in my "best of" and when it gets printed.I can collect all the articles under one "name" and take that collection with me instead of 50 magazines.It also takes up less room on my shelf, which means ultimately less grumbling from my fiance that my hobby takes up WAY too much shelf real estate...</blockquote>
