They're not perfect, but they are a pretty good format for the convenience of portable devices. Print editions aren't exactly an ideal customer experience when circumstances make toting around multiple books on a single iPad better. My iPad, capable of carrying all of my (legal) Pathfinder PDFs, is far more ideal for a game convention or even toting to a friend's house than toting a milk crate or backpack full of heavy books. The ideal customer experience is ultimately decided by the customer and their needs and that market is changing and has been changing since before WotC made the decision in the 4e time frame to turn away from selling PDFs of their current edition (and then they cited piracy as a significant reason - and we know how well that worked). At best, I figure this is a convenient narrative for them because they probably feel they can make more money licensing out the ability to distribute electronic versions than on the electronic versions themselves. I doubt it is a significant reason in and of itself.</blockquote>
