[QUOTE="Wombat, post: 1053852, member: 8447"] For my money, I have had at least as good of luck with .pdfs as I have with bound volumes. The several advantages include: 1) Less cost (usually you can find them cheaper than printed volumes -- if they cost as much, DON'T BUY THEM! 2) Less space! I live in a small apartment -- after a while, space is a premium. 3) If you spill something on your book it is gone... ;) Admittedly most of the rpg books I pick up are for reference, rather than for direct play, thus I can browse the .pdf at my leisure with no real change from a print book. I also am a big fan of waiting until I either hear/see a review and/or find an author I can trust. For example, I didn't pick up Magical Medieval Society until I had seen three very positive reviews; conversely, I generally know that I can trust material put out by Monte Cook to be of a highly professional level as well as having intriguing ideas, thus I tend to pick his up just on account of because ;) Yeah, there are some dogs out there. Then again, the splat books from WotC were no great shakes either. And having three backups of everything on my computer means I have yet to lose a document :D [/QUOTE]
