You can go To Rpgnow and buy a file and be reading it before the other gamer gets to the LGS to buy that print book. As for print speed of Rpgnow's (and others) print service vs the LGS...no contest. LGS wins. IF your LGS has the game. If it doesn't, then the print/pdf service wins again.PDF's generally win on Cheap and the only times they don't is when the company worries that the pdfs will undermine their print sales. Which only reinforces the superiority of pdfs in that respect, IMO. Even the cost for printing out a pdf in your paper is usually cheaper than buying full price print books. Or even using the print service that most pdf publishers are using (or dabbling in) is cheaper. Frankly being able to print things yourself is an advantage that most gamers hesitant about pdf industry don't acknowledge yet. But many eventually will and all the little kiddies growing up on computers from a young age won't think twice about it.Good is relative, but i have more crappy books in my "to sell" box next to me as i type this post than i do crappy pdfs in the game folder on my laptop. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Btw, The whole thing about being able to browse at stores is a no sell for me. Most PDFs have demos and its not all that hard to find reviews on even obscure games. In fact its much easier to find out about obscure games online than going to the LGS who might not have any idea who or what you are talking about. Outside of WOTC or White Wolf. Frankly its big rpg companies that profits from LGS's. I can't see how people can detest Amazon and such companies and support/vindicate/work for WOTC.Frankly, i don't think the LGS's going out of business will kill the hobby OR industry. The industry will change (already is changing). Its the grognards who can't deal with change who will die off. The new generations will have no problem with the switch, they are already being prepped by life itself to fit the new age.</blockquote>
