[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 1816965, member: 725"] This is from your perspective and from your situation. You have a laptop, so do many others, that doesn't make you a primary pdf (or any electronic format) user. Things like the latest generation of tablet pcs or the micro pcs that have displays are tools for people that are starting to buy electronic books instead of paper books. You can fit a big library of books on a 40-80GB harddrive, that is if they are in the "Original Electronic Format". Frostburn is 6MB, that's around 135 books per GB. 20GB gives you around 2700 books, that's more then most people own, and it all fits inside a 1.4kg (or lighter) device. Now imagine that you've bought such a device for reading/work, you've got a lot of the things you want already in an electronic format. Now you want to buy some RPG books, what's worth more to you? A paper book you don't want or a electronic book that fits neatly on your futuristic device? Currently i prefer paper books to electronic books, but only slightly, i still want an electronic copy of a paper book. I use that for looking stuff up quickly in a large volume of books, or use it to copy/paste important information for player handouts, or dmtools. [/QUOTE]
