They've been hinting at this for a while now, but it seems paizo.com has updated their D&D PDF downloads catalogue. There's an assortment of other TSR PDF downloads as well...
Here's the link:- http://paizo.com/store/downloads/wizardsOfTheCoast
-- Note: I've removed the sticky.

I'm removing the adhesive from this particular scroll. It's been a "sticky" long enough for most scribes to be aware of the updates now. |

I just found this post. Thanks, Sage! My copy of Chainmail is long gone, and I'd happily spend four bucks for a pdf of it.

Aye. The Volo's Guide to Baldur's Gate II has, unfortunately, not made the transition to PDF. You could try nobleknight.com for printed copies however.

Yeah, sorry; they've got his guides to the North, Cormyr, Dalelands, Sword Coast and All Things Magical.
No Baldur's Gate... :( |

And WotC hinted earlier in the year that they may eventually be adding more of the previously published 3e material to online PDF catalogues. Of course, this was before the DRAGON/DUNGEON cancellation. Though, with WotC moving more toward online material and subscriptions, it's a definite possibility.

At least I already collected al lot of the must have stuff. The goodies nice to have must wait then.
I thought that WOTC ended the PDF program, so I doubt they'll ever get replaced with better copies.....
Well, some of the newer stuff is available as pdfs...

I very much doubt the files available now have changed. The first batches of books converted to PDF are good quality, the later ones (rushed, one surmises) are bad quality, with inaccurately OCRed text sitting behind bitmaps. Most of the Realms sourcebooks fall into the good category, though many still suffer from too-low-resolution maps. |

I recently downloaded the Monstrous Manual... I wasn't impressed with the quality, and I was even more irked when I realized I had a PDF of it, already! The main difference is that the PDF I had wasn't a scan -- it was one of the books available in RTF format on the Core Rules CD ROM. I had simply converted it to PDF. |

I recently download the old "Black Box" for the RAVENLOFT setting... though it seems the quality is still "fair" at best.
There are a few slightly "off-center" images, and some of the text looks squashed in places... but otherwise, it's not too bad.

I recently downloaded C&D (even if I own the book) to include it in my searchable references.
I'm very disappointed with it because some parts of the text (with pictures near) are not recognized as text, therefore not included in the search.

DriveThruRPG.com does the same thing.
I did some free downloads from there, and they have my name "Watermarked" on the bottom of each page. |

I just took the plunge and bought four of these downloads... I got the 3 deity books and Cloak & Dagger. I picked those because I'd like to have them handy at work, too, and because I can print out the section on the Seldarine from Demihuman Deities, read it while on my trip, and not have to take the actual book.
I'm not impressed by the quality... Particularly Powers & Pantheons. The search function in that one is really spotty: while looking at a specific page, the search feature told me it couldn't find a word on that page. I had to try several times before the search function found a word. (My other three downloads seemed to not have this problem).

On flip side, the side claims there's no digital rights management on the files. And I did just successfully copy them to my SanDisk, so I can transfer them to work tomorrow... So that much is good. And the files remain available on the website, even after downloading them. |

Qualitywise not sure, but did take a look at the prices, and they are $1 cheaper at $4 compared to RPGNow.com |

I guess that's why the saying goes - "Nothing in life is for free." I tend to think that is everything except rain and snow, which are quite free and cold!

I was excited, until I saw that they weren't free.  |
