I feel that PDF is definitely the way to go. With the advent of tablet PC's and the netbook... I have done much more reading of pdf than I have paper media.
... And in Iraq, Neo-Exodus was a godsend on PDF. Rather than having to carry all the books to read... load it up and read it from either my laptop or my sony digital reader. Awesome.
I'm still not a fan of PDFs. Or e-readers for that matter. I may be a grognard, but the word 'purchase' means you buy a physical object to me. In addition you don't have the right of first purchase with a digital document. You can't lend it, sell it or give it away. All things I have done with my gaming books in the past. The e-readers also need to evolve further for me. To be cheaper, more durable and self-powering (solar panels). I can read a book 12 hours a day without electricity. I also like brick & mortar stores because they expose me to new things. I can't find anything on the web unless I know to look for it. But I can find something from out of the blue on a shelf or in a bargain bin. I have found many cool books in this manner. And lastly, many of the gaming books I own will *never* be converted into digital copies.
