#2Seems like a very nice product. However, here is how I felt when I was on your website.
"Damn, that books looks awesome!" click buy button to purchase on an impulse "$200 for a book?! Oh, wait, it's for a package..." scroll down to the book "Oh, the book is only $30. I could get it... But would I get the full experience? It says I will... but I'm missing 180$ worth of content..."
And there I am right now, not buying it on impulse, but considering buying it. Knowing myself, I'll forget all about it by the time I get home.

I have had this experience looking @ similar book-packages.
As a consumer, what I would like to see is a path that allows me to upgrade after the initial purchase: "OK, I really like this book that I purchased and would now like to buy the remainder of the package..."

I tend to agree. In the pricing grid, the book alone appears first, but in the website itself, the book alone appears last. I think it should be first in both cases.

I'd have to agree with this too. I have seen a few book packages presented in this way and once I get to the sales page I have been put off.
I think like you, I don't mind paying $30 for a book. I was actually considering buying this before clicking through. It's just very off putting seeing that I'm missing out.

Thanks for the comments and your feedback. I'm Oren, the author of the book. I completely agree that there should be a better way for you to enjoy the entire experience.
Would you consider buying the book and "upgrade" to a better package (say the Videos package) afterwards?

#7I don't necessarily "want" to lead, but it's where the money's at. I'll certainly look into this more.

I'd consider something like that, and probably wouldn't be scared away from the process of just buying the book.
