[QUOTE="falcarrion, post: 5548405, member: 4023"] Pushing the digial thread to fast will fail. It needs to be gradual. If it has too many bells an whisles it over welms the reader. One of the reason the e-reader are so popular is that it is very close to a book. People need to get use to using devices first then start changing the way we read on them. Pdfs are popular because of the ease of moving from one device to another. Now Amazon was very smart in seeing this and making it possable to read there books on many different devices. I have tried 2 different way magazines are done on the Ipad. Maxium and Iphone life (zino app). I don't like the way Maxium is done so I didn't subscribe. Now reading magazines with the Zino app is easier to use. but I would like to be able to move an issue to different devices like I do with pdfs. then to have to down load it again on different devices. and since I can tap on an ad and it goes to there website is great. Now with adventures having a hypelinked pdf is best. tap on an entry in the table contents, boom your there. Reading a room description and being able to tap a map link and it pops up. Tap it again and it goes away. And we realy need is two maps One for the Dm and one for the Players. Anyone using a projector setup would understand how wonderful that is. Do a screen shot, load into maptools and your all set. [/QUOTE]
