Yes. I imagine that there might exist a number of people in Liam’s position, who haven’t gone to a softcover purchase simply because of the added cost of making a new and separate purchase.
Also, if I find a couple of friends living near me who also want a book I’ve already pre-ordered, it would be nice to be able to upgrade to the top tier. That way, our books are sent in the same shipment and we can share the fees instead of each of us paying the full amount for three-or-more things that are all going to the same neighbourhood.
