It's a bit of a Trojan Horse for small booksellers, particularly in the long term. You have to assume that the concept will eventually become common-place, at which point who wins? I think big booksellers in the mid-term, and online providers in the long-term, since there's no intrinsic advantage to being near the machine when you order the book.<br /><br />But I do think the concept is pretty cool and could benefit aspiring authors, for sure. Plus access to a wealth of material that is currently out-of-print is brilliant.Dave Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02023580078603810879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457389742657889940.post-72913320133401146882009-05-06T16:11:00.000-04:002009-05-06T16:11:00.000-04:00Are you referring to easy book publishing that alr...Are you referring to easy book publishing that already exists such as this? <br /><br />http://www.blurb.com<br /><br />I still think there's something to be said for the post-Gutenburg ExPresso machine.BLossomnoreply@blogger.com
