[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 2110251, member: 1"] Well, two answers to that: 1) Well, I don't know how Behemoth manage that - but $2 is pretty much our profit on a print edition. We can't actually give away more than we've got! It's small inventory stuff - not massive runs of thousands of products with enormous economies of scale. 2) I'm not too clear on how giving someone something is unfair? Am I missing something? Or, perhaps, it wasn't explained clearly by us: we're [i]giving away[/i] $2 to people who bought a PDF if they want to buy a Print Edition too. I'm not sure I can bring myself to agree that it's unfair because we're not giving away [i]enough![/i] :) It's a new product. May interest some people, may not -- some may like their PDFs. Some may want to pay for a nice printed version. Others may want to print their PDFs out. Basically, people now have the option to do what they want. There's a whole load of people out there who vastly prefer a regular book to a PDF, and this is for them. [/QUOTE]
