BookStand vs Gumroad
Gumroad sells files. BookStand sells books.
Not book-native
No ISBN wizard, no condition grades, no used near-me, no multi-edition book page as a first-class object.
Print is a stretch
Physical books need shipping address, inquiry paths, inventory. We built those for booksellers.
Marketplace discovery
Gumroad discovery is not 'used books near me.' BookStand marketplace is.
Reader-only delivery
Anti-piracy default reader links matter when the product is a book, not a Notion template.

The verdict
Love Gumroad for fonts and photo packs. For books — especially print + used — open a BookStand.
