[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 6329495, member: 50895"] As a GM/Player, I absolutely hate tech at the table. I print out any PDFs on my laser printer, or at least the specific pages that I need for a given game sesssion. As a publisher who also does page layout for all my products, its problematic enough to create the layout appropriate for a PDF product, then create a 300 ppi version of all the art and graphics so the same layout is usable for print. Now to require a tertiary page layout just to fit EPub tablets (or other similar platforms), doing so is really beginning to eat into my production costs and time expenditure in prepping a product for publication. In other words, I find it too costly to have to create more page layout versions than I am already doing. Until such time that creating page layouts for other electronic platforms becomes a necessity (read that as large numbers of fans require a version for EPub), I don't find it economically feasible to do it - and I actually hope it does not become a requirement. I don't plan on ever getting a tablet of any kind, IPAD or otherwise. I prefer to read paperback books for my fiction as well. Honestly, keep your tech, I don't want it, nor want to produce content for it. [/QUOTE]
