Awesome work, and a really considered pivot which is great to see.
Can definitely see this as the replacement of that old Amazon preview mode page peak thing... Part of the challenge with services like Audible or Kindle or... real books is that it's tough to get the value across before committing to a purchase. If i could read a couple of Hardbounds(?) for books i knew i could access on Audible, that would probably be enough to temp me into subscribing.
Always loved the animation format too, much more engaging than the static Medium approach (though understandably higher maintenance) - but really looking forward to future versions with even more considered motion design, like so many of these high quality youtube channels. Almost like a lyric video (which admittedly i cant stand!) as part of the release of a new song, can see Hardbound becoming a really considered and high value part of a book launch strategy.
Keep up the good work Nathan & Team!
