[QUOTE="GQuail, post: 3833573, member: 30709"] I voted for "Print, with some electronic material". I will take a print book over a PDF every day of the week, because for actual at the table use I find nothing beats it. (I did try playing with some searchable e-books on a laptop, but it was never the same) I have bought a few PDFs, but in every case it was for something I could not buy in print at that time: and if I'm going to get major use out of them, I print them out anyway so I have a copy I can skim at the table: and sometimes just if they're so big that I know I'll never be able to read them properly on the computer screen. :> (I have, for example, printed out what Immortals Handbooks products have made it thus far, and the Elements of Magic series) Like a few people here, even though I'll read huge message board posts and spend all day at a computer, I still find reading a hardcopy book far easier. And, erm, I do a lot of my DM prep in.... how shall we say... the smallest room in the dungeon? ;) [/QUOTE]
