Hi Paizo Publishing LLC (given I believe under law Paizo is a person right),
I would like to thank you for the Lite version of the rules that I can nimbly access from my mobile devices. All for the price of, er, zero dollars extra beyond what I have paid.
It is my personal belief that when Pazio formed it started with and attracted "The A-Team", it follows then that 'other companies' got stuck with the B-Team. My opinion and I'm claiming 1st Ammendment rights.
Although your class/feat-bloat drives me nuts as a DM (oops, I mean GM)your products are like Roleplaying Cocaine. Darn you - but keep making them you hear!
Regards and happy gaming,
Stefan.
I am downloading these right now. Looking forward to seeing if I get a performance boost. Thank you also, in advance, if they do.

Great idea, although my joy was almost crushed by being told that all hardbacks would have lite editions 'going forward'.
How can a company so full of gifted writers lapse into hollow rhetoric when 'in the future' waits eagerly in the wings, her timeless elegance more than a match for the ditzy, crass ingenue who stumbles about the common stage.

I appreciate the offering of light versions of the hardcover rulebooks, but these are only slightly better than the full versions. A light, printer friendly document should forgo any colored background and unessential decoration.
Plus, if done right, you shouldn't need to provide separate versions at all. If the backgrounds, images, and text were all on separate layers, users could simply turn off the parts they don't need to print. Chances are, your page designer already uses layers in InDesign. It's a simple matter to condense them and export to PDF with layers turned on.
That said, I actually like the look of the lite versions over the normal ones, so your page designer deserves props for that.
I believe Vic had an extended discussion of the challenges in both layers and rasterizing as solutions at one point. The biggest thing is protecting the watermark, which is sort of a business necessity.
Bravo! And they are noticibly faster on my iPad.
I also am noticing the files seem to move a lot faster on Good Reader than the previous ones. Damn good job!
Guys after spending long graveyard hours last night being able to use my phone to work on my campaign at work (my job has two requirements on graveyards, answer the phones and stay awake, the phones ring maybe once an hour.) I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Very nice. Opening a page at random on the old files took 2 to 9 seconds. Now they load under a second (instantly for sequential pages).
You got me to purchase all the hardcovers except for Bestiary 2 and the GMG.
Just finished putting these on my iPad- these are great! Huge improvement, especially for the ISWG and core rule book! Many thanks!
These are so much faster!
A noticeable improvement on Galaxy Tab as well. Great!
More cheering from me. Going back and forth over a couple pages is so much faster. These are awesome.
Used them today on my laptop, much faster loading. Thank you!
