Books can be nice since they offer the material in another format, but look at things a different way via DDI.I've paid $60 for a year subscription. That's about the cost of two books. Most of the books people are making the most noise about are crunch indexes (power books, adventurer's vault). I don't have to buy those because DDI includes all of it. I might buy a setting or fluff book if it interests me. I don't have to worry about missing out on any crunch because it'll be in the compendium later. Really, I wish WotC would offer the fluff via DDI as well. I'd drop $100 a year or so for access to the full library of complete works. It goes away if I stop paying, but I also don't have a shelf full of books I'll probably never use again and I'm definitely ahead financially based on my 3.5 buying habits.It's a big shift for some people. Ten years later I won't be able to skim a shelf for a nostalgia trip, but those moments haven't happened too much with my current RPG pile.  I barely reference the 4e books these days.So as long as the content is well-designed, bring it on. It's not bloat for a DDI subscriber. It's more value per dollar spent.</blockquote>
