I'm one of the many people here with no desire to repurchase content I already purchased. I wish these things could be done in a smarter way but I am just seeing the same old model again.
I hear you. The key here is to see Demiplane as a Digital FLGS. When you buy a book from Ye Olde Gaming Shoppe, they get all the mark up from your purchase. This helps the Shoppe.
Now what I can see Paizo eventually doing is, once things are running, is offering a digital discount. If you buy a hardcover inside is a code for, say, 10% discount usable on the Nexus.
If you buy the Hardcover Directly from Paizo you will get an even larger discount. That is now.
Except that currently if you buy the hardcover from Paizo you don't get any discount in Pathfinder Nexus. The discount is only applied if you purchased a PDF.
As a side note, Paizo still has some markup on the books they wholesale. Its just not as significant as the markup they get from their direct to consumer sales. In general all wholesale items being sold to retailers still include markup to generate profit for the original producer of the item.
