I am not trying to criticize you and understand your position but times are tough right now for me. I get your point. I like Goblinoid and like what you are doing. Keep up the good work!

I don't want to pay almost $30 for the book and then fork out another $10 separately for the PDF. These days I always want my games in both formats for various reasons, including having the PDF up while we are playing so I can ctrl + F search it when needed.
This may unfortunately make Cryptworld a no buy for me and that saddens me, being a huge Chill fan from way back and owning a ton of Chill products.
Customers who ask me to invest countless hours and thousands of dollars to bring a product to completion, and not charge a reasonable price for it, turn me off. Here's the deal, I understand your point of view, and even agree with it in some cases, but I'm not apologetic about it in my case for this reason. I price my stuff reasonably. You can instead buy another perfect bound game in the mid 20 buck range and get your free PDF, but was the PDF really free? I charge 6.45 for the PDF and less than 20 bucks for the perfect bound. In fact, I don't charge 10 bucks for any of my PDFs. Many other publishers would charge as much more for the print books as I do for the PDF separately, and many charge way more for the PDF. Come on, your going to tell me that my pricing structure is unreasonable? If it were any less I'd never break even on anything. Keep in mind whatever your paying I'm also paying manufacturing costs and/or a royalty to the vendor, and trying to chip away at the price of art, writing, etc. I won't see a profit on CRYPTWORLD for a while.
