I have, but I usually just load it onto my 2 GB flash drive. In fact, I have almost every True20 and d20 System supplement that I have PDFs for thereon.

Several times, I've thought surely mine was going to fill up, but I still have about a half-gig left, and I have over 100 PDF supplements and rule sets on there (in addition to some other things).

Now I go into shops, look at the hard copy and run home to get it on PDF so I can snip things and make things for players and the such.

If I could get a hard copy and get a PDF certificate or something, I would get hard copy every time. Having a copy on PDF is valuable.

I'm the same way. Given a choice, I prefer hard copy, but I almost always end up buying the PDF as well at some point, simply for convenience. Fortunately, Green Ronin is a little more forgiving and offers their PDFs for about 2/3 the price of the physical product (Wizards charges full price for both, which is why I do not have many Wizards PDFs).

Same here; I have several DVDs that contain PDF materials for gaming. I use my laptop on travel and for gaming, so it's nice to have my library wherever I go (and if I can swing my Amazon Kindle in the next few months, I'll be transferring much of my library over to that format!).

I didn't think the Kindle could do PDF format.

It is the primary reason why I have not invested in one.

If so, it would be a gamer's dream.

I didn't think it could, at least not yet (unless someone out there's gone an experimental route). I believe it's some type of DRM format.

A friend who has done extensive research says that he discovered a conversion program.

I no longer have a laptop, and for the foreseeable future I can't afford one. The printer is not being kind enough to print out any PDFs I have at present. When I can get the silly thing to do what I bought it for I will consider printing out the bulk to the entirety of my pdf collection so I can read it over in a more comprehensible fashion. But right now I am listening to podcasts and other assorted ingenuities and considering getting into podcasting. All of which will cost me more than I am sure it should. But I will have a venue to rant and rave about stuff and perhaps even talk about important things. So I am content to wait and waste my money on such things print books. Although it should be noted that even when I had my laptop I was too paranoid to trust taking it on public transportation to have anything printed out on it.
