Books that people have on their iPad sit on their shelves?They can be grabbed and flipped through?And all the people who'd buy the PDF would have an iPad right? Because everyone I know has an iPad, no-one would be seen without one, that'd be SILLY</sarcasm>Seriously, books sit on shelves. In doing so, they provide advertisement, both in stores and in peoples homes.What is so hard to grasp about that concept?So, in fact, DDI doesn't supply what the books would, and you were incorrect.No, but you can flip through it in book form, off your friends shelf.Do you understand the point I am making? Do I need to repeat it again for you?Books in digital format do not sit on shelves. They do not support shops on city streets. They in NO WAY help to increase knowledge of WotC and D&D.Books in physical format sit on shelves, they support gaming stores on city streets. They promote knowledge of D&D while simultaneously promoting gaming spaces for Magic Card Tournaments, and activities like D&D Encounters.Why do you think WotC instituted the "early release policy" for stores that do those things?Those things are important to them. Advertising is important to them. A PDF on your iPad doesn't advertise anything other than that you bought an iPad.Which, admittedly, is fairly remarkable, given as I've never seen anyone with one.</blockquote>
