Like most DMs (according to the market study Wizards had done a bunch of years ago) I run a homebrew campaign, so I tend to cherry-pick items and ideas that are useful to me. Usually, that means that only a portion of a large book will have any value for me, which greatly increases the cost to me per (useful) word. The percentage of short, narrowly-focused, PDfs which is useful is much higher because of that focus. In the end short and long books have about the same value per word to me, which is why I buy both types of books. The five dollar minimum at RPGNow isn't a barrier for me as I always have a bunch of items in my wishlist. If I find a short PDF which I absolutely must have right now, I already have other items picked out which will meet the minimum. Finally, unless I'm mistaken, all the mini-PDF items in the top 20 for this month are from the same author/publisher...</blockquote>
