Bookseller har en artikel om en Espresso Book Machine
som Blakwell börjat installera på sextio varuhus. Tryck
en bok medan Du väntar. Den kommer så småningom
att även säljas till bibliotek. Urvalet är enormt, en miljon
titlar.

"The deal makes Blackwell the first UK retailer to install the EBM.
The academic chain will trial the machine from this autumn at a
yet-to-be-determined launch site, and will then roll it out across
its stores. It is also looking at possible international retail sites and
library supply for the machine."Blackwell c.e.o. Vince Gunn
described the technology, the brainchild of former Random House
US editorial director Jason Epstein, as "trailblazing and pioneering".
He added: "From a retailer's point of view, even allowing for the
first--generation technology and publisher challenges, this is a
fantastic opportunity—sell to demand with no risk to inventory and
an opportunity to create incremental revenue streams for ourselves
and publishers."
