New Publishing Machine for the Masses

Gutenberg, step aside. The new tech-savy alternative has come for those of us who have no interest in reading a book on a screen:

It's called Espresso, weighs 800 pounds, and can print a paperback book in the time it takes to drink a cup of it's namesake. They cost $75,000 though, so I guess we just have to wait until the local Barnes and Noble gets one. Unless we start our own "Print your book" store first....

  1. It's interesting how the author compares this new devise to Netflix... the only thing I've heard of that can maybe try to compare is PaperBack Swap.
