Remember folks: The first step in understanding a book begins by purchasing the book! ;-)
At a minimum, the purchase of the a gives one the 'feel' of having read or understood that book.
It's the cost of admission. Everything else is gravy!
Tsundoku is the joy of owning books. Yes, I admit that I'm afflicted with this condition. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsundoku
I've come to a revelation. Real hardcopy books aren't meant to be read, they are meant to be displayed.
They are like limited edition basketball sneakers that are kept in mint condition. Not to ever be worn with but rather to be mesmerized from afar.
What the world needs is a new kind of service. A service that signifies that you've read a book even if you've never read the book!
Surely there must be some bragging rights and social equity for knowing what book is worthy of reading. How can we monetize this need?
Perhaps a selfie like service where you take a photo of yourself with the book and it's timestamped in a blockchain for authenticity.
Yes, they call these Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in the cryptocurrency world.
Now imagine an NFT for books that you own and supposedly have read. Surely it's worth more than owning the actual book!
