I can imagine having a Star Trek like "Pad" that held not just all my D&D books but also serve as a flat map display for the gaming surface.Even without sci-fi type electronics, we could use existing technologies to create a better, more usable version of the multi-book system that we use today. I mean, I don't buy PDF books because even though I can carry around 1,000,000 of them I can't reference that material. Imagine if we had one "D&D Rules Base" program that displayed and crossreferenced all the core SRD. That alone would be a great step in the right direction. Now imagine that when you bought a new D&D book, you could type in an activation code (or some such thing) and all of the new content was downloaded into the rules base and integrated.... I mean browsing through your "Classes" chapter had having the fighter and wizard next to the psion and warlock.That alone would make it worth it to me to pay the same for an electronic form of the book as I do for the book. As it stand now, even at a discounted price I still have no more usability then with a standard book (and less, because it requires a laptop).I see electronic media as the thing of the future, but no in the MMOG style.Zero</blockquote>
