Message: <blockquote data-quote="BlackMoria" data-source="post: 301053" data-attributes="member: 424">Looks like mine is the minority view.  I prefer ESDs/PDFs before books.My reasons:I have over 100 RPG PDFs on my laptop.  I have also scanned most of the Core Books and other recent products that I have picked up hard copy into PDF files to put onto the laptop. Translate that into actual paper and it is about 70 lbs worth of paper that I don't have to lug around.  And it is nice be able to reference something that comes up in a playsession because I have the PDF on hand and without cursing about the fact that I left the book behind because I thought I didn't need it and I left it due the the weight my book bag is already (Sucker is nearly 30lbs with the three core books, all the splat books, the FRCS and MoF, DM screen, graph paper, battlemat and dice)I can get the ESDs/PDFs usually immediately and at a cheaper price than the printed version.I can bookmark, make links, etc and do a variety of different things to make information in the PDFs instantly searchable to find what I want.I can printout what I want, when I want - then I can  scribe notes or whatever onto the printed hardcopy without concern for damaging the original and without resorting to sticky notes (which fallout or get misplaced) or whatever I would need to do to avoid damaging an actual book.</blockquote>
