[QUOTE="Joshua Randall, post: 473710, member: 7737"] For lazy, curious people, this works out to be BoEM 1: $0.14 per page BoEM 2: $0.11 per page BoEM 3: $0.09 per page I think comparing page counts between printed books and PDFs is kind of goofy. The whole point of a PDF is that the electronic format makes per page printing costs irrelevant. But, if you must compare, here are the numbers, using the WotC suggested retail prices. core PH: 288 pages, $29.95, $0.10 per page DMG: 224 pages, $29.95, $0.13 per page MM: 224 pages, $29.95, $0.13 per page hardcover PsiH: 160 pages, $26.95, $0.17 per page FRCS: 320 pages, $39.95, $0.12 per page MotP: 224 pages, $29.95, $0.13 per page paperbacks Sword & Fist, etc.: 96 pages, $19.95, $0.21 per page It looks like about $0.13 per page is the standard price for a WotC hardcover. I assume the PH is deliberately underpriced or is cheaper per page because it's larger. However, FRCS is not much cheaper despite greater length. The PsiH is more expensive per page because it's much shorter. And the paperbacks are much more expensive per page; higher costs per page to produce the shorter books, or WotC making up money on the supplements, or a little of both. [/QUOTE]
