Pay What You Want (But Please Pay Something!)
DriveThruRPG has the option to offer products for no set fee, but rather Pay What You Want (PWYW), in which customers pay whatever they think is appropriate for the product.

D&D Reader App Coming This Fall? [UPDATED]
Many people have been asking for official D&D PDFs, and WotC has been addressing the need for electronic reference materials at the table in various ways.

Mashable reports that "Each book is broken up into different sections. So with, say, the Player's Handbook, you can tap on little thumbnails in your library to check out the introduction, a step-by-step guide to character creation, a rundown of races, individual sections for each character class, equipment, and all the other pieces that, together, form the D&D Player's Handbook."
