Patterns delivered in pdf form, worth full price?
#1
Lately I've been coming across quite a few patterns I'm interested in that are only available in pdf (email attachment) form. They're still $8.50-$10.00 which is what you'd pay for a printed pattern from your LQS. For some reason it seems to me a pattern ought to be a little cheaper if you're just getting an email attachment and having to print it out yourself, using your own paper, ink, time, etc.
Anyone else thinking the same, or am I out in left field with that thought? :)

I agree that they should be cheaper. I follow a blog whose owner started selling her patterns in pdf form. The only thing is, they cost the exact same price as the paper ones (minus the shipping which I think is a dollar or two). I don't get it.

I agree with you too. If we write to them and express how much we like their patterns, but the price is not right, and do this often enough, it might help them decide they don't need quite that much for the patterns.
