The only reason (at this point) that i haven't bought the PDF is that if i really like it, i'd rather have it hard-copy (and while $20 for hardcopy is perfectly reasonable, when i've already spent $10 on the PDF, it makes the cost of the book effectively $30, which feels a bit steep). Books like this are for reading, and i hate reading on screen. The books that should be PDF are all those damn books-full-o'-crunch, cause being able to cut-n-paste is actually really useful for them, and i'm not likely to ever read an entire book of feats (or spells, or whatever) cover-to-cover anyway. Anyway, i digress. I've heard so much good about MMS:WE that i'll probably give MS:EC a gamble as soon as i get around to it and the money is in the right place. And then i can tell all of you how it compares to Aria: Worlds (among other things).--On a tangent, there's a thought: the producer is basically not out anything when a PDF is sold, so what if the publisher offered a discount to someone buying the hardcopy who can prove they've bought the PDF already? Ideally, it would be equal to the cost of the PDF, so the end result would be the user paying full price for the hardcopy and getting the PDF as a freebie thrown in. But even if it were a smaller, but still significant, discount, it'd help. The way it is now, there's a significant disincentive for someone who has the PDF to "upgrade" to the hardcopy, and, unless i'm mistaken, the company wants us to buy the hardcopies, because if those don't sell they're actually stuck with eating costs. But feel free to point out why this couldn't work.</blockquote>
