Problem is, once DDI subscribers already have that content, why bother to buy it again in book format?  I know - don't we already have that with the compendium? But currently the delay in content entering the compendium gives an incentive to buy the printed books, plus the presence of elements like fluff (and occasional rules) that don't make it into the compendium.  With this, on the other hand, the books will never have anything new to offer, and won't have the incentive of being the first release of the material.  I can see it working for the really exceptional articles - compiling all the Codex of Betrayal articles or stuff like that. But there usually aren't enough of any one theme to fill a full book, and I just can't see the books selling well enough in this format to be worthwhile.  No, I suspect WotC has some other plan in mind, though I've got no clue as to what. Maybe DDXP will reveal more...</blockquote>
