Carousels drive an industry average ER of 0.55% — nearly 5x their current Posts ER of 0.11% — so replacing static single-image posts with multi-slide carousels (e.g., book excerpt reveals, reading lists, author Q&A breakdowns) gives Flatiron Books the highest-leverage format shift they can make immediately.
