It will certainly have to adapt, just as the music and TV/film industries.I've not seen much discussion of piracy concerning digital publishing. The subject does not seem to garner as much press coverage as it does in the music and film industry. Or maybe I'm just not seeing the coverage. I've certainly encountered pirated PDFs and I'm sure it is a significant issue for publishers. It is another reason why I can understand the use of a paywall for services such as DDI--and a desire to implement some kind of subscription model.I agree with this too. I have owned a computer for more years than I've been playing RPGs and even work in IT. However, I love books and only started to enjoy reading PDFs since owning an iPad. I still prefer the physical article but my collection of PDFs is getting larger by the week.I've not seen the actual product but the "augmented PDF" of Nova Praxis [<a href="http://voidstar.squarespace.com/nova-praxis" target="_blank">http://voidstar.squarespace.com/nova-praxis</a>] seems like a first step into the future of RPGs.</blockquote>
