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

Add Demiplane to that poll?

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

Well, consider the forum.

One you've missed, and I've got a fair bit of material from there, is through the Bits and Mortar scheme. That of course isn't digital product alone so I'm not sure whether you want to count it but you it is one way I get digital material.

I admit, I've never heard of it. Could you post a link?

Bits and Mortar is a program that allows a retail store to offer a complimentary PDF with a physical book purchase. It's a deal between retail stores and RPG publishers. Their website has a list of all participating stores and publishers.

This is the basics of it. My FLGS participates and most of the companies I buy from are in the scheme. The website with the list of companies and stores is Bits and Mortar

I voted for every source I've used to buy digital books and material. A little more than a third of the sources listed. Buy far my main sources, roughly in this order (in order of spend), are:

1. The Publisher's Website (Frog God Games, Cubicle 7, etc.)
2. Kickstarter & BackerKit
3. D&D Beyond
4. DMs Guild
5. The Forge Bizarre (hosting service for Foundry with a marketplace for VTT content)

Oh, you are missing a very important source where I've gotten a lot of content from over the years: Patreon.

My "Other" is SJG's webstore: Warehouse 23
I used Hyperbooks online back in the 90's... but it's been gone for a decade plus.
I got a few things from Precis Intermedia back when it was "Politically Incorrect Games"; still PIGames.net
I've gotten a few items from Paizo - the public betas.
