Hello.

I am thinking of starting up with Pathfinder. The obvious first purchases are the core rules and the monster manual. I got as far as the rules' page, and saw that it has several sets of errata.

Are these for the PDF or those who purchased the printed books? I am hoping that when you buy and download the PDF, it has the errata included in it. Does it?

Thanks.

Hello.

I have recently purchased a Sony ebook reader, which can handle PDFs but does far better with ePub documents. Most other readers I looked at buying support ePubs, but have even worse support for PDFs.

I am holding off on buying Pathfinder products until I can use them on my reader - I already have D&D PDFs, but am looking to "upgrade" to a similar system in a more suitable format.

I know this subject was covered a year ago (you can find the thread in the archive), but I am curious if the answer has changed as time has past.

I know the initial concern was graphics. To that I propose allowing two downloads - the standard PDF, and a graphics-light epub version. For those that don't know, the epub format supports HTML formatting, so tables etc could certainly be included, just not the beautiful artwork from the printed material.

I strongly suspect that if labour is the main concern, that can be resolved with volunteers from the community. I would be more than happy to join in converting sections of the RPG to the epub format, so long as I knew it was going to be officially maintained and supported, so that my work would not quickly go to waste, as it would with an unofficial attempt.

Anyone know what is going on with the format, or have any comments about converting it?

cheers,
Andrew
