I have printed one or two but mostly read them on screen.

And by reading I mean finding the relevant part quickly because I hate reading long bits of text on my screen.

I mostly prefer to keep them as electronic documents. Very few get printed in whole or in part, and that is mostly only very short pdfs or those pages of longer pdfs that are direct reference sheets.

yea i've been eyeballin' this since i saw it on ATOS (Attack of the Show) on G4. it looks like what i've been wanting for a while. they had something similar on a good while back, and Kevin was saying you could get them on ebay really cheap but you had to do a little modding but then it was very similar to what the sony is, that is as long as i'm remembering right. but i forgot to take note of it and have since forgotten what the failed product was, and my search-fu over there is weak b/c i can't find any mention of it.
 



I did print out a couple when I first started buying PDFs. It didnt really take long to realize that it is too expensive to print out most PDFs because, I usually end up only using maybe 10% of any PDF (or any d20 books for that matter.

Personally, I've goty about 20 gigs of RPG Pdfs. Not all D20, but many different games and genres.

What the heck is in there that is so big in size. I have quite a few RPG PDF's but I don't think any of them are bigger than 50 meg (and most of them aren't anywhere near this big).

Some of the material that I have personally scanned and PDF'ed. In order to keep image quality, I don't reduce the image size or type. I also keep my Dragon Archive on my computer, which is 5 CDs worth of mags. Additionally, I always jump on free material, because it isn't always free.
