This is interesting: "Our development and business focus is now entirely the educational use cases for Pressbooks, with about 90% of our revenues coming from higher ed institutions who make PB available to their faculty to create, adapt, and deliver digital textbooks/resources, usually open and free." This makes sense to me, and is (IMO) the only way Pressbooks can be successful without selling data, imposing paywalls or running advertising.
