Where Do You Get Your Digital (RPG) Books and Materials?

[CleverNickName]

So unless something very strange has happened to you, I'm sure you have noticed: we live in the Digital Age, and most (all?) of our gaming resources are in electronic format. I'm not saying that this is a good thing or a bad thing, and I'm not saying that electronic media has replaced printed media, that's all a discussion for another time. I'm just acknowledging that it's a thing now.

And it made me curious: where do you get your electronic gaming stuff? Vote for any that apply. And if I missed your favorite website, add a comment and share the link! (But no illegal/pirate sites or torrents. I'm serious. I'll report you.)

For my part: I voted for all of the ones I've used in the past year.
(Backerkit, DriveThruRPG, Humble Bundle, and VTT)

In recent years, I've used (and thus voted for):
Kickstarter/Backerkit
Directly from Publisher
Humble Bundle
Roll20
DM's Guild
DriveThruRPG
SRD
Other

Ideally, my main goal is to get things mainly to my iPad for offline use (or at least not internet dependent use) and convenience - though obviously that's different for something like Roll20 where the goal is to get it readily available to use for Roll20 sessions which have to be online.

Well, I basically checked every box except VTTs.

I'd like to see Itch.io on the list, though - I have quite a library there, after a few charity bundles, that Shadowdark bundle a while back, and a few things I discovered while looking for something esoteric.

Woops! I can't believe I forgot that one. I added it to the poll.

In addition to what I checked in the poll, I also get a fair amount from bundleofholding.com

Some of your poll choices aren't places to purchase digital books, but licenses creators can use to create their products. I don't purchase digital books FROM the SRD, but I do purchase products created using that license, on DriveThru, mostly.

Woah. I knew DriveThruRPG was popular, but I didn't expect it to dominate the field quite this much. 95%?

I mostly use DriveThruRPG, but I've also used SRDs, Kickstarter/Backerkit, Itch.io, directly from the publisher, and the Open Gaming Store (which rather oddly isn't an option here, so I selected "other" for it).

....it's an option now. Thanks for the suggestion!
