Even though having to go back to the index page isn't ideal, having multiple (including, for the moment until fixed, index) tabs open is a lot easier than sitcky bookmarks in your book and is much, much quicker when you want to look at a dozen things at once. Which is often at the table as DM. The links in the text make DDB so much better than books, linking to spells etc, just so useful. Being able to print high res DM and /or player maps and handouts is a world apart from photocopying books. On DDB you also get a very useful character builder, and I enjoy making PCs for the hell of it as a permanent DM, and the ability to parse things suck as monsters by tags is vastly beyond what you get from books for prep. And unlike Fantasy Gournds (which is an awesome VTT, don;t get me wrong) I can sit down and read books with my iPad, which is a real pleasure on the move.So I think, even as it stands, DDB is much better (and cheaper as long as you already have the right device) way to get your 5E books. And, as you've mentioned previously  and I'm in the same boat, it's improving all the time and just out of BETA. I'm only saying this not for arguments sake but because those who have not used (no reason why though, wen a free account gives you everything in the basic rules) shouldn't be put off that it's not good. A laptop at the table with DDB is an awesome tool for the DM.</blockquote>
