[QUOTE="rgard, post: 5248777, member: 4157"] I hear you and yes it is annoying to pay twice, however... I still have 33 rpm records. I can't play those anywhere but in my house on my turntable. If I want to listen to the same music in the car I buy the cd or purchase the songs on line, download them and put them on a flash drive or cd. Now I could spend the money to buy the copying equipment to get the music off my 33s into a digital format, then spend the time to do it. I could do the same with all my RPG books, but I don't want to spend the money on a good scanner & software or spend the time scanning the books. I look at this as paying for the convenience of not doing the work myself. Now if the RPG company wanted to make pdfs available free (or at least severely discounted) for those who purchased dead tree versions of their products, I think that would be a great business decision on their part as it would keep me coming back for more. Thanks, Rich [/QUOTE]
