RE: Second-hand PDFs

You are certainly correct about the value of the PDF format. Steve Jackson Games has also been using PDF's for a while to publish supplements for GURPS and other games, as well as put out of print books back into print. The buyer pays for the download and printing, nobody pays shipping, and the publisher makes a profit on retailing the intellectual property. Carpathian Brigade and Orange Waters are perfect examples of this format. Printing and selling additional copies of the download would be theft.
