I rarely buy issues. The reason for this is that I'm not interested in 80% of the magazine content. I'm interested mostly in Eberron stuff, setting articles, and revamps of classic material. I already have plenty of feat and prestige class options and, if my players want something new introduced, they can bloody well get the book themselves.Obviously, I'm not the demographic for the magazines- I want very specific stuff, occasionally, instead of a variety delivered every month. So I'm not likely to subscribe to the PDF format, either.But... (and here's the point of the thread) there are some things I would get, like the aforementioned Eberron articles, if they were available in PDF. As it is now, I'm paying $6-7 for an article or two that I might use when I buy individual issues at the stand. The cost doesn't really seem worth it, even with a hardcopy, because it's still mostly stuff that I don't want.I'd happily pay $2-3 for a single article from a magazine if it's the only thing in the magazine I want, and if the reviews/community feedback are favorable. So, if mini PDFs of feature articles were sold, and I could pick and choose which ones to get, then I'd be a more regular customer. It still wouldn't be a subscription, obviously, since it's the customer deciding what to buy instead of the monthly delivery.How this would be implemented, of course, is an entirely different matter, as I'm sure it would involve changing contracts with printers or writers. But I thought I'd throw the idea out there, anyway. A lot of the hobby industry seems to be going toward this mini-transaction approach: booster packs, single figurines, short PDFs, quickie plugins for the XBox, etc. If a company isn't putting out the high dollar collector's books, then I think the small dollar market is one worth looking into.</blockquote>
