A digital book doesn't need to be double-sided.

But, a physical book can be double-sided.

Double-sidedness may require adjusting contents in many places.

How can I write a digital book that doesn't have to be heavily modified in order to become a physical book? I want almost no modification at all.

Then choose a one-sided layout and don’t use side-floats and the like.

Physical books don’t _need_ to be doublesided.

I think you can use modes: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Modes.
Simply do different setups in different modes. Then choose the mode at
compilation time.
