And I do so because it's easier to read. For example, I thought about getting the both the print and hardcopy of the new DC Heroes game through a special deal Green Ronin was having. But I ultimately decided against it and just went with the hardcopy.Very true. I like them when I need to cut-n-paste. I also like them when I'm going to print them. If all I need is reference, storage, access, and cheaper storage I'd prefer an ebook format like MOBI or ePub. My city library has a number of Sony eReaders available for loan and I checked one out. I only had it for 3 weeks, but I feel in love with it. I got all the L. Frank Baum Oz books, all the Doyle Holmes books, and many of the Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan and John Carter books. Frankly, it's awesome to read something on one of those readers. I would much rather have an ePub or MOBI ebook than a PDF one because it's easier to to read on those devices. The provide the easy reference, storage, access, and cheaper cost that PDFs do, and they have readability. I love it.What I want is the content of the book in an accessible and easily useable and readable format. Right now I buy PDFs under the following circumstances:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Book is only available in PDF.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hardcopy is too expensive.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hardcopy is hard or difficult to get.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The book is one that is best used in an electronic format. (E.g., short adventures, books where it's more paractical to print out the section(s) I'm going to use.)</li> </ul>The new Villains and Vigilantes book is, to my knowledge only available in PDF form. So that's the format I bought it in. OD&D books are an example of something where the hardcopy is too expensive or difficult to get. My last purchase (literally the day before they were pulled) of an old D&D book was the Rules Cyclopedia. Really, you can't beat that.The Paranoia XP adventure books are great for PDFs. I typically print the adventure out + any props it comes with. (E.g., the he YELLOW Clearance’ Black Box Blues.)Quite true. I prefer an electronic format that I can read. The formats I'm familiar with scarifies the precise page layout that PDFs provide, but it's worth it to me. I'm not particularly enamored with the page layout on an RPG book.</blockquote>
