and it was darn trivial. One token issue, which admittedly I didn't report on the forums or do much digging into, was that the list of articles that it provided wasn't complete, and it was a dump of many articles on the site with no ability to filter.
But, I didn't care as I wanted to run a SQL job anyhow with
"select section, category, id,
from jos_content
where created (within my target dates) or (modified (within my target dates) AND state=published
this component made it DAMN EASY as all you have to do is create the newsletter, embedding {contentitem:|} .
PLUS you can personalize emails by inserting in the name or any community builder tag.
There's even a track # of people who've read the HTML email. I can't currently figure out how to see what links a given person clicked on, I can't seem to find this jLinks program referred, but that's not a huge deal for my application so I haven't dug into that either.
So, if that's what you want, this is perfect!

Also, if there was some way to really make this an evite-type thing, where the admin could list people who are invited, and have them RSVP yes or no, I'd love it 150%. Again, happy to pay another small fee to have this done, you guys rock.
I'll email the seminar@vollmar.ws to see if that's possible. Even if not, this thing is very cool as-is.

1) members cannot cancel their registration or update the # of people attending. For free events, this is a must.
2) no way to see a list of registered attendees on the front-end. Many times more people will come if they see that is coming.
The only advantage I can see of this over the free attend_events module is that:
1) you can group events on the front end
2) you can see the # of attendees on the front end.
Is that worth $60? Relative answer, to some it is, to some it isn't.
Owner's reply
1) The items you say mention as flaws are not promoted as being available features so if you needed that, you should not have purchased.
2) The only advantages of DT Register over the free Attend Events are not just the two things you mentioned... of course... there are MANY other advantages.
3) The "flaws" you mention are both things that we are including very soon. We are always adding new features to always keep DT Register as the best option for event registration.
A 2-star rating because it's missing a couple features that you want is not fair... particularly since these features will soon be there and you won't be able to change your vote :)
