all depends how they judge and then structure their printing schedule
they already have a good handle of initial sales (through subscription services and recorded show numbers) allowing them to produce a limited run to better gauge the industry…
I think you’re seeing it as a completely new product
The “brake even” point on a converted hard cover is damn low, even including storage (by what I understand, they have their own warehouse, thus the cost is simply existing floor space they are already paying for) and even playing the standards of the book industry, if they produce limited print run (5k) they will control costs and still pull a hefty profit…
especially if they are ready to strike when the iron is hot… personally I know very few GMs that won’t jump at a chance to get the pathfinder bestiary converted to 5e
I'm not a liberty to share our print/storage costs, but trust me... it would be VERY easy for Piazo to do this... I would not be surprized if they alreay have someone looking into/working on it
