I had sold off all my pathfinder books when Pathfinder 2nd came out. This month went back and picked up allot of the pathfinder books in pocket format. Hard backs of the mythic, unchained, and ultimate campaign. Did not pick up the horror, ultimate intrigue, and the book with the shifter in it. I do have those in PDF. The only one left to pick up is ultimate Magic. It was sold out everywhere in pocket. Will maybe get it in hardback format next month. Getting about 90 percent of the books in pocket did help the wallet out. I get multiples of the books and think spent around 300. Also got good deals on the hardbacks so did pick up.
Glad I didn't sell my books, though I wish we had pocket versions of Mythic, Unchained, and Ultimate campaign.
For me it came down to a space thing. Had to make room for the new addition of Pathfinder. The pocket editions really save on shelf space. Got about 80 percent what I wanted in pocket. The rest in the hardbacks. Was able to get 2 hardbacks of ultimate magic. About to do this for Starfinder. Although will keep the pocket editions do have of Starfinder.
