It sucks that I have to buy the same book twice if I want the digital options. The very simple solution around this is to buy one or the other. DnD Beyond books are cheaper, and have a lot of perks, but physical copies are easier for a lot of people to read and flip through.
This isn't a problem with DnD Beyond, and is more WotC's fault, but it isn't a big deal. They market their content how they want to, and whether or not you agree with their methods makes no difference in the amount of money they get from selling books this way. D&D 5e books get sold very quickly, so whether or not you like that you have to buy it twice if you want both a digital and physical copy of it doesn't really affect the amount of money they make.
