Reynolds did not state a distinction, and the actual practice historically doesn't appear to be following any sort of rule on that either.My point had nothing at all to do with it being free.  It was the nuisance of having to print all that crap out and put it in my hardcopy book, to the point where I was basically driven to use an online source whether I liked it or not.And the reason that's annoying, is a similar (not the same) reason for the annoyance with these adventure paths.  Your book, which you bought from them in physical hardcopy, cannot really be used easily without having to reference a bunch of stuff online.  And, I could fake it with the errata and just ignore it or work around it, much like I can do with the outside stuff from the Pathfinder APs.  Or, I can go look it up and print it out and insert it where needed in my hardcopy.  But the level of nuisance is roughly the same level.For free...which is only relevant because you next say...Which is a re-phrasing of the same friggen thing!  The supplemental books come out every month (just like the errata), they are free online (just like the errata), they are needed to play with the book you already bought (just like the errata) or else you have to do a work-around or ignore it (just like the errata).  On a nuisance level, the thing you do is the same thing...go online, print it out, insert it, or work-around/ignore it.Except when you compare what you're actually doing, in which case they are very comparable.</blockquote>
