Two volumes of Pathfinder worth seven issues of dragon?

[Justin McQuoid]

on the transistion page it says I will be able to convert the remaining 7 issues left on my account to two 'volumes' of pathfinder. What is the difference in terms of content that would make two 'volumes' of Pathfinder worth seven issues of dragon?

(just started subscribing last month when I heard about the modron issue btw)

Pathfinder is a 100-page perfectbound book, not a magazine. That means no ads (apart from one or two house ads in back).

James Jacobs summed it up thusly:

Counting the Adventure Path material in Dragon and Dungeon over the course of a year, Savage Tide would clock in at about 450 pages. The Adventure Path material in Pathfinder over a year will be closer to 1,152 pages. And you'll get 2 Adventure Paths instead of 1 each year.

Oh—and subscribers also get a PDF edition free.

That make me feel better, I just thought it was a magazine. I'll put my order in now, thanks for helping me calm down
