On the flip side, consumers value the physical book product very highly.
Intangible stuff is always really hard to sell. Despite Spotify, most of the revenue in the music business still went to the Walkman, the iPod, the iPhone, and now $160 AirPods. Indeed I think AirPod sales are comparable to the entire music industry’s revenue.

Among other reasons (including that it's easy to make copies and distribute them in torrents), this means that people think a digital product that costs almost as much as a physical one is ripping them off.
