Will the eBooks be PDFs, or ePUB/MOBI-formatted? As I've been prepping Dungeon Grappling, my first stretch goal was an ebook formatted for small screens and tablets. That meant a single-column layout in one of those formats (but also B/W, no art, yes charts), rather than the PDF format which is pretty irritating to read on a small device due to the need to navigate around the page by column.

Just to say I was looking at this via GM Joe's notification elsewhere, and the international shipping is pretty cheap!
That and the books being back on Amazon, it's great news |

Re: GURPS Reprints - Magic, Thaumatology, and Ultra-Tech
Is this a case of "If it goes well we'll do more?" because I'd really like to see a reprint of High Tech.

Well, the epub format can handle tables pretty well, the implementation might be lacking. My reader surely is bad at this.

We're collecting data on GURPS and will review things in early 2017. We've put a lot of staff resources into the line over the last three to four months, and every scrap of info we collect is going into one big pool that we'll swim in and explore soon enough.

Re: GURPS Reprints - Magic, Thaumatology, and Ultra-Tech
While I understand the reasoning, I also find this disappointing. The color versions of the book are nice.

note almost all of GURPS tables are the type that get broken (with the notable exception of tabled like the speed/range table) |

Re: GURPS Reprints - Magic, Thaumatology, and Ultra-Tech
I understand optimizing for CreateSpace, but I don't understand why these books weren't made available in color. Weren't they originally done in color, so color assets are already available for them? CreateSpace offers full color bleed, so I'm missing why these reprints are in black and white.
