I have one minor nitpick.
If you are selling a book of tables, at least show one that I can see and read. The Quick View I can't read (too small and fuzzy) and the Full Sized stops before the first table.
I realize that is the meat of the product, but I really don't buy products like this unless I get a peak at at least a page of content to see how you think and what you include.
I like the idea, but I'm not totally buying a pig in a poke.

I was about to purchase but thten realised that you had gone silly with the borders again. As I am still waiting for the borders to be a thing you can swich off on your other tables I will give this one a miss too.

The borders on these files really only just burn through extra ink- there is no point to them. It would be a lot better if they could be turned off. Decent tables, though, I plan to use them!

So I'm having a great time with this book but one sentence makes no sense to me. Maybe a missing/incorrect word?

Maybe they mean "beingness". Maybe it's a Hippie Zen thing... :-)

Wow just bought this item and gave it a quick scan. Provides many much needed system agnostic events, items, and more for sci fi settings (even names of books, there are so many of these for fantasy settings but have not seen it yet for sci fi). Definitely worth the low price I love it. We need more resources like this for science fiction. Hint, hint :) Good work!

It will see a lot of use thanks. Science Fiction really needs some "dungeon" generation resources too. If you have the time (for different types of dungeons eg high tech facility, ancient alien ruins, on artificial worlds like ringworlds, bases on zero atmospere worlds, space habitats, etc etc). Leaving review now

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
