Review

This is a great ebook, and is highly recommended for any beginner magician, it teaches loads of sleights and some classic tricks like the ACR, I would recommend purchasing if you don't have a copy, Matt

Overall
8-10 (since its an ebook and you have to have ink to print)

What a bloody stupid idea making an e-book out of it. Sacrilege.

I fail to see the point of purchasing this ebook when you can just go to Amazon and order a real copy and have it delivered to your door. Can you imagine printing the whole of RRTCM out on your home printer? The poor thing would probably unplug itself and leave home.

Possibly the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. I learnt the majority of the Royal Road sat on Trains or in my room reading the well printed original text.
It's clearly not meant for printing, as it would cost tonnes more than going down to your average book store, so it's aimed at magicians who sit at there computer all evening instead of actually practising!

For the record, it is available for purchase at Lybrary.com.

Aside from that, is anyone really surprised by this?

Not really; it was only a matter a time, wasn't it? I don't see the point of it myself, but there you go. Someone will buy it, I'm sure.

Got my physical copy of RRTCM from amazon for the same price, it was a used copy, but serves its purpose.

I got royal road, bobos and a mentalism title a wile back, having tried to get on with them i ended up with the paper copies.

I quite often go away on work and take a laptop with me. Carrying a laptop with a dozen e-books loaded on it a darned sight lighter than having half a dozen books in my bag

I do have a printed copy at home (as well as DVD set) of RRTCM but don't see any major problems with an e-book version as well.

They're not really meant to be printed for the most part. Printing it at home is probably more costly than buying the book
