Digital vs. Physical


I sure wish full color was an option for the Player's Guide, but the printing cost is huge. The only way to bring the cost per unit down is to do larger print runs, which requires even more money upfront. I have considered a Kickstarter Campaign, but unless my gamble with IGA works out and demand for printed books increases across the country, investing in putting together a Kickstarter (and updating the Player's Guide with tons of full-color art) is going to end up as a loss. I still think digital books is the way to go, and more and more people seem to be running tabletop games from their laptops—that's what I do at all the conventions, too. Otherwise, I'd be hauling tons of books around to run all the different missions that I GM during convention weekends. What's your take on digital vs. physical books? Do you find less value in having a digital book over a physical one?
