I can mail a book across the country for much less. Sure it's probably at a loss to the USPS z but I should be able to do a local delivery or pickup for a fraction of that esp if you could somehow tie in the local post office.

Especially cheap because of the USPS media mail rates: https://faq.usps.com/s/article/What-is-Media-Mail-Book-Rate
Thank you so much for your reply and interest. We are currently working on reducing the price to make it more affordable for everyone.

Why buy a book if you can rent one from your tax money to local libraries.

Why put others at loss, if you can create jobs for people who enjoy working in gig economy.
