Buy a Book, Get the eBook Too? Why Isn’t This Normal?
It’s 2025 — why are we still buying the same book twice just to read it in different formats?

In this video, I dive into the outdated logic of traditional publishing, the missed opportunity of bundling physical books with eBooks (like every other media industry does), and why indie authors might be the ones to lead the way forward.

Let’s talk about what the publishing industry gets wrong, what readers actually want, and how we fix it without burning down the bookstore.
