I MUCH prefer a hard copy version.  I tend to take notes, make changes on the fly as well as scan back and forth constantly while I'm playing, and trying to do so on in a PDF just doesn't work very well. It's very slow and frustrating for me.  The same is true for reference books like a DMG or Players handbook.  Having to scroll through 200 pages looking for what I need is way slower in a PDF than it is to open a physical copy of the book and quickly fan through it looking for what I need.  I went through a phase a few years ago when PDF's were first being released where I thought they were the next great coming and I bought a ton.  In the end, if I don't own the physical version of something I'm going to use, I tend to print it out and use the print out instead.  This is even true in my on-line games that I play in and run. I have the print out sitting next to me as I run the game on the computer. (And I have 3 24" monitors, so screen real estate is not a problem at all).</blockquote>
