      Minor realization: like gyms and insurance, airport bookstores know their customers won't use what they sell. What other business are like that?

      I sell the book I wrote for $100. 50% of the people that purchase it never download it.

          That's a bit insane. I can't imagine something written by you about the thing you're probably best at wouldn't be at *least* worth a glance over.

          I think it’s the same reason I have a gym pass I never use. Aspiration but not discipline.

          Mhm. Probably. Reading an ebook *is* way easier than going out and driving to the gym, though.

          It's also way easier to buy lots of books than to get lots of gym memberships

          I buy paper so at least I'm constrained by concerns about self space. If I read kindle I would impulse buy like twice as many books

          I don't know, it's not like I selling _hoping_ people won't download it. But I'm not going to give them a refund either. That experience is part of the reason for Lambda School. People *want* to know stuff but usually have a hard time doing what it takes to get there.

          I know. Wonder what the underlying jobtobedone by people is. Maybe something like feeling aspirational for a few minutes

          possible many of the buyers are expensing it, so it's not a huge loss?
