Here's an interesting bit of information. A poster named Glyfair, in a post (http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=182498) on Enworld, did some research into the bestselling electronic downloads from various sites.

3. D&D Rules Cyclopedia
4. Queen of the Spiders
5. Scourge of the Slavelords

Best rule book ever. That and a few adventures and Gazetteers and you are done. Campaigns forever. Now all we need is an Orcs of Thar download. I have the original, but it really deserves a pdf as well.

The Paizo numbers do not suprise me, but somehow, to find the RC on all the lists is a bit shocking considering OD&D wasn;t very popular in the larger scope of things.

I am impressed how B11 King's Festival got on the list at Paizo. Is it because people liked what they saw in B1-9 and B10 and thought they would get a continuation of Night's Dark Terror goodness?

Or does Paizo have the only decent scan of B11?

We should also consider the confounding theory--not many people download products at all, it's just that we're the ones who do.
