But, each to their own.As for paying for game content twice, as I have stated, you have never had to do that. I certainly haven't. I made the choice to buy my content in FG, so I don't have the hard books. Have never needed them. FG has what it calls "Reference Manual" versions included. These are effectively an e-book. Yes it means I have to read the books inside of FG, but that is not a problem for me. It can be for some. Or, you could choose to forego the FG version and just use a physical version.And, the price for a book on FG is really not much different from teh price on Amazon, so again, price is really a red herring, imo.Not having a physical book means all I have to do is carry a 4lb laptop to where ever I game and I have what would be hundreds of pounds of physical books with me. I can book mark them, I can do a digital search, I can link to specific pages and share those links, and I can share 1 copy of a book with as many players are in my game as I want. So while one player is looking up combat actions, another is looking up a spell description and a third is look at the options for leveling up their character, all with one copy. Can't do that with only 1 physical book.For me, digital (FG) books are a better investment than physical. That's not the same for everyone, but to think that a digital book is inferior to a physical one for everyone is just inaccurate.lol <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=":)" />Feel free to interrupt if you want. Thoughtful and informed discussion is the best way to discuss something, besides, it's beneficial for both the sides as they get alternate views to consider and hopefully re-evaluate and build a stronger basis for their views.</blockquote>
