[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 1925606, member: 725"] Let me squash the notion, you are absolutely, positively NOT allowed to discuse the price. ;-) If you own a business, then you also know that if drop your price to a point that most people will buy your product, you might loose money. At that time most people either decide to not carry a product or raise the price so they will make money on each sale. The point WotC is obviously making is that this isn't their core business, if it in anyway endangers paper sales, then it means that they loose money. And to be honest i can see the rationale in their way of thinking, it might not be what the pdf consumer wants, but i think that the paper consumer kind of digs that the books they buy are kept at a decent price. If sales in the paper branche dropped drastically due to increased sales in the pdf market then the print runs would be smaller, and as a result the paper books would be more expensive. For a long time to come there will be more people that want paper books then pdf books and thus WotC main interest will be paper books. Now, this whole discussion has been discussed 'ad infinitum' in other threads, nothing new has happend to change all the opinions, so if you want to discuss that, go find yourself an old thread or start a new one. What has changed is the fact that frostburn now has a little brother, three months later. Interesting points are, why wait three months and why do another single release? Why another 'fringe' book? Will we see more and will it be another single release three months down the line? [/QUOTE]
