Neat. And the prices look acceptably low, less than a PDF of a current Pathfinder module.
We'll see how the prices compare when we hit large hardcover books and more recent products. 4e suffered from very, very expensive digital products that were often more expensive than their physical counterparts.

The quality was also dodgy in past attempts. Poor bookmarking and bad treatment of covers. The PDFs always felt like a side product and not something they actually wanted to sell and produce.

That's great news!

This is great news - I'm glad WotC is bringing back PDF products!

They're not currently active. You'll have to make do with the screenshots like the one in the first post!

Yeah. Unless these are new improved scans, I am not going to get too excited. I bought a ton of poorly scanned products the first go around.
