Who agrees? I just started d&d and purchased these three books already. I would like to use d&d beyond but i'm not going to pay for these three books again. But it'll be weird to use this and have to look up in my three physical books if the info is locked and can't see it on here.

Hey chewyskittles, i know your knew to D&D and DDB however if you have a look in the forum you can see this point has been covered more than extensively in the last month. I understand your frustration in having to repurchase content that you already own however there are a few reasons that this is the case
The first being that Curse is the one building this tool set not WotC so Curse have to licence the content from WotC to be able to use it
Secondly this is more than just the content from the books, you also get listings for all aspects of the content, all of which is tool tipped to other areas of the website, as well as the use of that content in the character builder which Curse have spent months building, as well as the use of the content in any future functionality that Curse provides. So getting this content for free from Curse would negate all the hard work that they have put into the product when you bought the original from a different company
Another reason is there is really no way to prove that you infact actually own the content
So if you dont feel the features of DDB are worth while spending the money on to use then continue playing D&D on pen and paper like it has been in the past and keep checking until you see some features that you do think are worth the investment
I would also like to mention that Curse have provide a lot of content for Free including all the Basic Rules which you can use with the Character builder and the fact that you can recreate a lot of what you can pay for in the Homebrew (more of which is coming) so if you feel so inclined you could enter all the content from your books as homebrew and use it that way without paying a cent
I hope you found this helpful and you now understand more clearly
