Unfortunately, every time I attempted to click on that, it redirected me back to the physical copy. I eventually had to spam the digital button to get it to stick, but I had to click it like 20 times very quickly to get it to stick.
Wizards of the coast can put QR codes on each physical copy so that they can be unique. It unfortunately makes DnD Beyonds functionality useless for actual gameplay because most people aren't going to buy it twice. And moreover, Currently , you can't even buy a digital copy of the PHB to open up options as You are only allowed to preorder which will come ouit in September. So no digital copies till then. It's too bad because DnD beyond is a really powerful tool and makes it easy to play with laptops and ipads, etc.It would be great if they could sync that all up. They could do it if they really wanted to and make everyone happy. It would be way more accessible.

Kyle Brink shot down this idea. This is a recipe either for the codes getting scanned for free in the bookstore by randos and WotC customer service being inundated with complaints, or the books being sealed up and losing the sales to people that would idly flip through them. Or both, as people unseal the books, scan the codes and reseal them.
Our best option right now are the digital+physical bundles that get you both versions at a discount. The big downside is bypassing all the FLGS, but they are the only ones getting the collector covers so they still have a reason for people to come in.
They loose sale due to people flipping through the books then coming here and just buying only what they want.
NOT ANYMORE ššš
Kidding aside, that's not really a lost sale. Someone who wouldn't have bought a book after browsing through it probably wouldn't have bought it if they weren't allowed to see inside either due to being sealed.
Why is Chaosium able to do this with āBits and Mortarā and WotC cannot? Any Chaosium product I buy in physical form, I get the digital files included without additional costā¦just e-mail Bits and Mortar the receipt and *poof*
Itās not that the technology isnāt there. Itās not that the LGSs wonāt get in-line. Itās Wizards/Hasbro squeezing folks for all the money they can. The option to not give them my money is certainly there. Iām just complaining out of frustration and hoping theyāll do better.

I put a ticket in with support.
Register no. However you can use the homebrew feature for your own campaign to recreate what you have on paper for personal use.

Games workshop managed to pull it off with the codexes. Could r be too hard to make that a reality.
