I purchased these stories, but I can not read them. While the Pathfinder Tales books are available as both PDF and e-reader compatible, these are only available for e-readers. As I do not have an e-reader, could you please make these and any future releases PDF compatible? I hate having to do a copy and past to word so I can read them when I am unable to get online.

EPub can be read by any number of desktop software programs- I know Adobe have an offering that I use (I can't remember it's name)
Apparently pulling the text from the website into an epub is very easy, putting into a pdf isn't as easy.

Charles, I'll definitely pass on your request. In the meantime, here are some free ePub reading software.

We don't make web fiction available in PDF form because we've chosen to put our effort into optimizing products for formats that present our works in the best light possible. For works that are primarily running text with few or no illustrations, ePub delivers a better experience to the reader than PDF does. Among other things, ePub readers give you the ability to select font style and size, and often colors and backgrounds, to make reading easier.
We only offer PDFs of the Pathfinder Tales novels because that happens to be a by-product of preparing them for print; the web fiction is never laid out that way, and it would require additional designer and editorial time to make them look as good as our other products in PDF form—and it's just not worth it for a low-cost product that actually functions better *without* that effort. Try reading your next Tales novel in ePub format, and I bet you'll never even want to open the PDF.
ePub readers are available for a whole pile of modern platforms, and most of them are free. See Wikipedia for a (probably incomplete) list.
