My advice--since you asked--would be to borrow them from the local library or from a friend who has all ready finished it.

The books are quite large, and take up a huge amount of real estate.
Thankfully, I have a friend who buys books more often than I do, and was able to steal his copies.

Truly, the price of electronic texts is just....ridiculous.

This is one case where you will be paying a premium to not need to lug a giant, though entertaining, trio of books around.

The tie-breaker should be the maps. If you are as ignorant as I am, you will be spending a tremendous amount of time reviewing the included maps, or visiting google maps and wikipedia to cross-reference characters.

If the maps are easy to read and flip back and forth, then buy the electronic copies and save from lugging around an 800 page monster.
