[QUOTE="Sunderstone, post: 6366600, member: 23497"] I have to laugh at all this in general. PDFs "are so yesterday". I'm not sure this even needs an answer, as another poster has stated that there are 200 million iPad owners that read (or might read) PDFs on their devices. I'm one of those people for sure. This Dungeonscape thing could collapse at any time, especially considering the powers that be at WotC might not like how it's selling one day and shut it down themselves. I can see that happening with the way their corporate dept. runs things. This is why I never bothered with Comixology. I'd rather own what I pay for and be able to throw it onto my Galaxy phone or iPad whenever I feel like it. I'm done with print books personally and I would have bought a PDF myself just to see how it turned out. It's amazing how people here will go to such lengths to defend WotC decision to not release PDFs without even having a financial stake in the company itself. And yet Paizonians have been considered rabid fanboys here through the years. When you think about it, they have more reason to be loyal to Paizo as the company treats their customers/partners right instead of as potential file-sharing thieves. WotC is deluded if they think piracy won't happen regardless of what they do, they did release print books after all. I'm sure file sharing sites will have them up soon. I won't buy pirated material myself, so I'll just keep skipping D&D altogether. I was looking for a lighter system than 3.5 and this seemed promising but as long as WotC holds the keys, stuff like this will always happen. Even if I was onboard, I would have to wait till later this fall for Dungeonscape to read the PH that was recently released? Then there's the bug squashing period with their new shiny online software where servers may be down when you need them (if I'm understanding their online model correctly).... meh, I'll pass. Just..... "wow", as I read some of the responses to the OP. [/QUOTE]
