the effort stripe has put into making their books physically appealing is exceptional — we’re confident they will be among the most cherished pieces on our shelves for years to come. the information contained within those objects however can be represented in other, nontangible ways. have y’all considered making the digital representations of those works available alongside the physical, e.g. a hardcover is sold with accompanying epub and aax files it strikes us that putting an end to legacy media windowing is a good idea for progress 🌺

We’ve thought about this and will continue to, but actually doing this is a bit of a financial and operational headache. A large part of challenge here is Amazon’s huge market share + exclusivity contracts for ebook + audio formats. Shifting away from them would meaningfully change our unit economics, but we’re still exploring our options. 🤞🏾
