It looks like the dvd is as thorough as the mag. I just printed out a plan for a shaker cabinet.

I ordered mine last week. I'll let you know. I suspect it's like my PWW DVD, which is pdf files of the old magazines, minus the ads.

The DVD is a collection of pdf files of each issue. They are complete with ads. There are a couple blank spots where images should be in the early issues (about 3 spots as I counted) where Taunton did not have reproduction rights to the images, but nothing of importance.

Don't get rid of the print versions until you look over the DVD. It is possible some of the older stuff isn't as complete as the magazine was, but as suggested it usually is not a big deal. If you find anything that you "need" to keep the print issue of, you will be able to do so. I'd wager if you keep anything it will just be one maybe 2 issues.
Something I didn't see mention of, you really need to load these DVD's to your hard drive. Running them off the disk is a series of crashes, hang ups, and really s l o w loading.

Anyone seen a discount price? Are the PDF's per issue? Can you copy them for tablet use?

Does the DVD have all the content that is in the hard copy mags?
The DVD has pdfs of the entire magazines - it is literally a copy of each magazine.
Once you buy the DVD, you can upgrade to add each new year for about $20, but you have to call them to do it, it is a different part number.
Also note that the license does not allow you to sell, give away, or loan the DVD - once you buy it and open it, only you can (legally) use it.
