I've been excited for the release of 40k 7th edition and recently pre-ordered the new BRB. My FLGS gave me a bit of a discount but I quickly started regretting my pre-order. I realized that almost $80 could instead have been invested in a decent digital tablet which could run the ebook version. Sure, the tablet is much more expensive, but if I eventually load it up with 3-4 codex, the Big Rule Book, and whatever supplements they come out with, it could probably pay for it's self within a year or so, not to mention have plenty of other uses... That's not to mention the necessity of downloading FAQs and Errata anyways.
So has anyone else been considering going digital? I have always been part of the "real book feel and smell" crowd, in fact I have an extensive collection of hardcover literature and novels. However, with 6th edition only lasting 2 years and these books approaching the $50-$100 mark, I'm fed up. Tomorrow I am probably going to go over and cancel my pre-order and am looking at tablets, counting my paychecks until I can afford one.
