[QUOTE="HalWhitewyrm, post: 1920158, member: 4046"] Hello. Though not brought up in any of the chats so far, this is certainly on topic. In the last 2 weeks alone, I've been reading two threads in the [URL=http://www.enworld.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=9]d20 Modern, d20 System & OGL Games forum[/URL] where the topic of PDF pricing reared its head (and in an ugly manner in both cases), namely [URL=http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=109433]this thread started by Adamant Ent.[/URL] and [URL=http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=109369]this thread started by LPJ Design[/URL]. Feel free to read them for reference. In addition, I received two reviews in which one of the factors in which my products had points taken off was the whole price-per-page issue that gets raised in the LPJ thread above. In that same thread, Phil did a good job of arguing the case for the PDF pricing model, but I've kept thinking about this, and I wonder if this is going to be one of those issues which we, as a group of PDF publishers, will need to address, namely educating the consumers on the difference of print vs. PDF pricing, especially when it comes to price-per-page. As Phil pointed out, the price-per-page of a print book is way lower than that of a PDF, but print usually has a huge run that averages out the cost, while those that cry out about this fail to consider that the price of a PDF normally includes free updates (something print publishers cannot do), thus working out to the advantage of the customer. What are your thoughts? [/QUOTE]
