In 2007, On Demand Books is putting 10 to 25 machines in libraries and bookstores. The machine, called “Espresso” can print, bind, cut and spit out two books with full color laminated covers in seven minutes. Price will be about $.05 per page. Via Engadget. Wouldn’t you just love to go in and say “I’ll take hard to find book A, B, and C along with a grande mocha skinny and no whip?” Well, insert your own poison.  Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!

We don’t like to censor comments nor do we endorse the comments of any poster. We do reserve the right to moderate comments but most of the time will not, believing, as Justice Brandeis did, that the greater good is in “more speech, not enforced silence.”
Is that half a dollar per page, or 5 cents per page? If it’s half a dollar, then a 238 page book would cost the punters $119. If it’s 5 cents per page, then it would cost £11.90.
Here’s hoping you meant 5 cents per page (g).
yep - 5 cents. Sorry.:(
nifty idea… wonder how they will pick the books available to demand…
Hmmm, could be interesting…but what if, like every other printer in the world, it coughs and screws up a page or two? I’d still give it a go.
I can’t wait to see one in action!
It sounds like a great idea,but the punter has got to be pretty damn sure before parting with his $0.05 per page before pressing the button.
