Sigh… the excellent reviews of Wolfgang Baur’s Kobold Quarterly 1 have just about convinced me to break my standing rule of not buying things over the internet and, well, buy it.
And being that Paizo.com is my favourite website, might as well buy it here right?
But, first some questions about the product. I understand it is a PDF file – is it readable using Adobe Acrobat v6.0 Professional? Will I be able to download the file onto my computer? Will it be sent via email to the email address that I log onto Paizo.com with? Is the file in a format that it can be burnt onto CD or DVD?
Ok, now the stupid questions about actually paying for it. I’ve honestly never bought anything over the internet before! I’m in Australia, if I’m paying by credit card, the conversion between US$ and AUD$ is done automatically right? And the price that shows up on my credit card statement should be in AUD$ I guess. And, extra silly question, but since it’s a PDF, there’ll be no shipping cost or administration cost or anything?
Thanks for your time…

Adobe Acrobat Pro 6 will work, though I'd personally suggest using the free Adobe Reader 8 if you're just viewing or printing PDFs (it's less of a resource hog, and has a much friendlier design). You'll download the file from our site (we don't e-mail it). You can move it around and archive it any way you like.

Your bank will do the currency conversion automatically; when it appears on your statement, they'll probably tell you the price in both USD and AUD. (They'll probably also apply a small surcharge for the conversion—usually a small percentage of the charge). There are no shipping costs on PDFs.
