It doesn't matter if the damned book costs 20 cents, 20 dollars or 20,000 dollars, if it is something that provides nothing of value to the person you'd be trying to force it on, then it is an unwarranted purchase and an unjustifiable expense, regardless how big a company is. As I've pointed out, not everyone signing up on RPGnow will be some newbie amatuer looking to release his or her first book. I myself have been selling books online, in PDF format and print, since 1995, longer than most of the paid contributors of the book have been doing so. I do not think it will be anything but a waste of $20 for anyone who has been involved with e-publishing for more than 2 or 3 years.And let's not forget the stigma attached to forced purchases. RPGnow would develop a reputation similar to those job recruitment agencies that charge the job seekers a fee, rather than just collecting a commission from employers doing the hiring. Or worse yet, it would be like one of those agencies that attempts to force you to take some sort of qualifications exam that you're forced to pay for.</blockquote>
