The Dresden Files > DFRPG
Preorderers: First Impressions?
Carabas:
Some 3-4 years ago, when I was browsing the web for FATE stuff, I found the Dresden Files site.
I was a bit excited by this, because I love FATE and urban fantasy.
When I read in January that the RPG would be published in June 2010, I started reading the novels. I finished all 11 of them in 6 weeks. At first, I was reading 3 a week, and slowed down later on to one novel a week. First this was intended to be a "research excercise" for playing the game, but the novels are page-turners.
Now, I finally have the PDF on my computer and my iPhone. I keep switching between the two devices to just keep on reading at every opportunity. I've read a lot of RPG rulebooks since 1987. I am deeply impressed by the quality of the writing. It is a joy to read and not a chore, like so many other rulebooks.
DFRPG did two things: finally get into the Dresdenverse, and introduce me to an elegantly written, well thought-out game system.
Great job!

You can use applications like Good Reader (.99) and a wireless network to move .pdf files onto your iPhone or iPod touch (yay for reading at work!). The .pdf scales perfectly with this application so other than having to move it around more due to screen size limitations, it's just like reading it on your computer.

Exactly like SoulCatcher says. I use GoodReader for this. There is also a free version that you can try out before buying.
But I am very happy with GoodReader. I even consider not do a print-out of the book(s) because of this.
