[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9619823, member: 7035894"] No, you get access to the entire books. Not sure what you mean by "sections." Actually, you get [I]better[/I] access to the books, since you can access them anywhere, on any device, and if you are a master tier subscriber, like most DMs who use DnDBeyond, all of your players can [I]also[/I] have access to the same books, on any device, for free. It's an incredible deal for 7 bucks a month - easily the best deal in my entertainment budget. That 7 bucks I swore than covered by how much less I pay for the books alone, not to mention all the other tolls I and all my players gain access to. I bought the three 2024 books, and have shared them with 16 players via campaign sharing on DDB. The books were around 25 bucks each, digitally, so that means we collectively paid around $1.35 per book. But yes, if DDB goes away one day, and if WotC doesn't allow us to download the materials when that happens, I will no longer have them. This is a feature, not a flaw, since by that point I will have moved on to the new game, and I won't be leaving a bunch of old books for my kid to deal with when I kick it. I am [I]all about[/I] digital subscription services - they save me a fortune, free up a ton of space, and are way better for the environment. Regardless of your personal definitions, ebook sales are very much included in "book" sales in publishing. So I am sure that WotC is counting digital books in their numbers. Which are also, typically, much more profitable. I am sure WotC would much rather sell a digital book than a physical one. [/QUOTE]
