DentArthurDent Posted February 9 Author Report Share Posted February 9 I’ve never used any of the Bundle websites. Can anyone describe some of the pro’s and con’s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 The pros: Legal, copyright-holder-approved copies. No watermarks, so you can print hardcopies if you want. No DRM, though I do not know why this is a huge feature for legally buying legally-sold copies. _especially_ for legally-minded people who wouldnt think of spreading them all over the universe. Though I suppose it means you can out a copy into every comouter or gadget you own without fear of reprisal. I am going to install To Serve and Protect from 3e Champions on my fridge, I think. Copies are updated (with a fresh download) to reflect changes to the material- a bettwr copy is found; an errata sheet is added, etc. Extremely good pricing (the sooner you jump in, the better the pricing. As the average paid rises, the algorithm raises the threshold. Not a lot, but some days six bucks is the difference between yes and no. Permanent online storage of your material. Still: always download it and make a back up, just in case. Your purchase helps support the cause of the day. Often these causes are chosen by the publisher or author; I dont really know who picks when they don't. Cons: if you werent a Bundle of Holding user from way back, you have to make an accoubt at aome other website (I dont remember what it is; I had storage on BOH before the partnership with this other site, so it was donw automatically for me, and I still access it through BOH) It isnt free. there is the usual "dont you really want to join PayPal" nonsense. sometimes the bundle is releases with one or two different books that you _also_ want. sometimes the bundle is released for less than you paid the first time. Seriously- that's it. Oh: Sometimes the bundle comes out _without_ the book you want, or worse: it is usually the most-current edit or correction of that book. If you want to savor a wonky rule or a horrible typo from the first go-around, it won't be there if it has been corrected. And that is both a con and a pro, so it cancels itself out. Bundle of Holding is great. I mean _great_! It is the only way I could have afforded to read Mongoose Traveller. DentArthurDent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
