Ebook piracy is a constant struggle for some publishers, especially when their books are used in academic settings. In many cases, this can be due to the availability of the content, not an inability or lack of desire to pay for it. In this episode of the BookSmarts podcast, Joshua talks with Emma Watson, the Account Manager at Perlego, a UK-based book subscription service, about how subscription models can help alleviate piracy issues.

The two talk about how solid SEO can help redirect readers who are looking for free content to subscriptions that legally provide what they need, the fears that publishers have when considering subscription services, and how data provided by subscription services can help you understand your readers better.
