So it states clearly in the rules that you need to have some kind of physical copy of the material ready (if needed) as well as own the material yourself. I'm hoping to get a friend of mine interested in Pathfinder, but neither of us have enough money for the CRB, APG, and whatever other sources we would want. What are the rules if you went 50/50 on the materials with someone? Keep in mind that we would be doing online sessions since there aren't any PFS tables anywhere near where we live. If we just stayed in the same room during that session with the materials in easy reach, would that satisfy any conditions regarding us having the source material sufficiently?

Hey there, Aziraya. It's nice to meet you. That's a good question.
Well, remember that the Core Rulebook is part of the "core assumption," the materials that the campaign assumes everybody has access to. And by "assumes," we mean, "we don't check on that."
The rule for any other materials is "everybody in a household can share." If you and your friend had continual access to the material, either the physical books or a watermarked PDF, I would consider that good.

To foster the spirit of community I let this one slide in that if one guy wants to loan a book to his friend so she can play a certain class even though she doesn't own the book, I'd rather see her having fun then telling her she has to stick to the CRB classes. I figure, as long as the player is holding a copy when they sit down to play, or I have seen them with one before, I'm cool with it.
