Posting in another thread, I had an idea that probably wouldn't work as a product, but for anyone so inclined who owns the PDF, seems like a not-terrible idea:
When you download a PDF, you are given multiple means of downloading it - one file per chapter, one file per chapter lite, single file, etc.
Does anyone actually ever Download the Zip file containing the broken-down chapters, print them out, and then keep them bound together into multiple booklets & pamphlets?
As I said, it doesn't seem like it'd work as a product (the production costs for making something like this would be hilariously prohibitive I'd imagine, with a final MSRP pushing $70+ dollars, even IF made in softbacks), but it does make things a bit more manageable for players and DMs alike when sitting down at an actual table.
For instance, the Core Rulebook could be broken down so that each Race, Class, and Prestige Class gets its own individual sheet or Pamplet, with the following groupings of all other Chapters:
Character Basics: Chapters 4, 5, & 7 (Skills, Feats, & Additional Rules)
Combat: Chapter 8 by itself (Combat)
Magic: Chapters 9 & 10 (Magic & Spells)
Equipment: Chapters 6 & 15 (Equipment & Magic Items)
Gamemastering: Chapters 12, 13, & 14 (Gamemastering, Environment, & Creating NPCs)
Appendices

I'm kinda curious if people have tried it, and if so, how effective has it been in practice?
