In my opinion (and personal experience), there is no way that digital is faster than a physical book with tabs. I’ve been playing and DMing since the late ‘70s. I’ve played every edition of AD&D, and lately I’ve been dabbling with OSE. As a DM, with my tabbed books, I can find rules references faster than my players who are on their smartphones 95% of the time (my guesstimate) and 85% of the time faster than players that are on PCs or tablets. Bear in mind that these people are almost always searching D&D Beyond. I’m not sure about PDF retrieval.I agree wholeheartedly with Talien regarding spatial remembrance in a physical book. There is no such “muscle memory” in searching digitally for information.When I decided to run some OSE adventures, the first thing I did was buy the physical books and put tabs for the major sections. I already feel confident in my ability to quickly find what I need.</blockquote>
