What about the current available classes? For example, I'd like to make a sorcerer, but as of right now only the draconic bloodline sorcerous origin is available. Do I have to buy the Wild Magic sorcerous origin? Will it be available at launch?
Everything accessible now during the beta is available for free because it has been released by WOTC via the Basic Rules, the SRD, etc. Other things that appear in sourcebooks such as the PHB, DMG, etc., are not part of that, but will be available to purchase starting tomorrow. Here's some pricing information.
Most likely a dumb question but...since I have not purchased any of the core books yet, I am debating between buying digital or printed. A big deciding factor will be the ability to search quickly. I am most interested in the format I have seen so far where a spell or ability or anything is clickable to a link. Furthermore, if I am on the index of the MM and it says page #226, can I jump to that page or will I have to hit a forward button to get to that page. It seems a no brainer to me to have the ability to skip to a page but unless you specifically say you can I will not buy an online book. That being said, I love this site and once again as someone who at first was not sure he was going to get back into DnD, I am looking forward to having all the books. Your answers will help decided this or not. If I buy the Hero subscription and 3 core books, (I was given Sword Coast as a gift recently,) I hope it means I can use an iPad to quickly find anything that is in those 3 books. I will be very disappointed if I ever see a "Content Coming Soon" or "You Failed Your Investigation Check once I purchase both the subscription and 3 books...my apologies if you have already answered this or it is in a FAQ. I have a - 3 in my Investigation skill.

If you decide to buy a digital book, this will have all the links (spells, skills, action, monsters, conditions...) pretty much every time such things appear in the text. And yes, with smartphone or tablets those books will have the search function. When you buy a book, everything will be there, there will be no "coming soon".
P.S. Do you know if you'll be offering the Tal'Dorei campaign?
IIRC they said they are working on finding a way to include 3rd party sources down the road.
Thanks!

To everyone working on DDB - you folks are AWESOME! Thank you for letting us all into your beta! To the community - thank you for being the friendliest I've ever experienced in a forum!
Purchased the Legendary Bundle. While reviewing my purchases like Gollum, I noticed that the Tales from the Yawning Portal is showing as an non-complete purchase, and that I still owe $1.99 USD to complete it.
Any chance of getting a new sticky forum to report issues with purchases, that way we aren't getting lost in the sauce of people cheering, dancing and naming their first born after Badeye. I'm sure as this gets worked out there will be additional issues, but let us put it all in one place so you guys don't have to dig through the forums :)
Now, back to touching my computer screen and whispering "you're my precious"

I bought the three core books. Hoping you guys eventually convince the powers that be to discount volos and the sword coast books as well as have a legendary variant for the core books.
I don't want to buy all the campaign books twice as I already have the physical copies and I mostly do home brew campaigns.
This may have already been answered elsewhere, but haven't found it:
You'd mentioned in one of the releases that a la carte purchases would be counted toward whole purchase price on the books (example: pay for individual spells now, then then pay difference on whole book later). What if you purchase books included in a bundle - could what you paid toward the books similarly be counted toward the bundle cost later?

I thought that I read somewhere the Legendary would be on sale for the 1st week only. It's posted at regular price now.
I meant that it would be on sale for 179.99, not the regular price of 279.99.
I understand it's always available but I could have sworn one of the post in here stated it would be on sale.

Bought the Legendary bundle once I found the marketplace. Now to just collect up all my books and put them on craigslist.
I bought the three core books. Hoping you guys eventually convince the powers that be to discount volos and the sword coast books as well as have a legendary variant for the core books.
