Norwescon is fantastic…
I’ve attended a conference on GM food, permaculture and vertical farming…
(bottom line, we got enough food, but we have some real problems with
distribution, and (heh) definitions of what qualifies as food)
Then a poetry reading.
Then a panel called “alien and fantasy biology” with two artists and a
biologist, all enthusiastically discussing how “no how, no way” is that
pegasus going to be able to fly.
Next was “Big Press Small Press” where several people talked about self
publishing pro’s and cons. Like all panels, the participation from the
audience was equally valuable as what’s going on in front.
NOW I want to add an espresso book manufacturer to my tech shop. A seventy
thousand dollar machine that will print a book, ANY book, on demand.

er… if I ever get the money to create my tech shop in the first place.

Perfect, if you just need a handful of books to sign and send them as
gifts.
See how the EBM works in this overview!

AGAIN WITH THE SCIENCE. #booknerdery
For Every Occupy Library! (with slight modifications ;)
Printing a book, in 2008. Not all books are printed this way today, but
some are.
For reading and durability, I prefer sewn binding over perfect hot glue
bindings.
The Espresso Book Machine: How To Create A Book In 5 Minutes
why does every english department known not have this? or rather, just in
my college when i was there? 🙁 +Alice Lok
WOW
a bookstore a few miles from me has one of these… I plan to go down soon
and check it out.
i love this video !
Too slow.
I’ll take 3 of them
imagine placing one of these in a 3rd world country. where simple things
such as books to read are almots impossible to afford…this is awesome
This is the future of reading
we’ve come a long way, baby, since the first printing presses! I love this
machine!
Like every other printer in the world, the “CANCEL! STOP!” button doesn’t
stop anything. It just shows you what you’re going to yell when the button
doesn’t stop anything.
this is not going to work. the ebook will save both paper and ink money.
wow
@bookreviewfamily Yes, it is currently for sale to anyone who has $97,000
USD plus the cost of the printer, your choice of the Xerox 4112 or Kyocera
FS-9530DN. (i’d go with the Xerox 😉
@vcav22 Why? My Laserjet 4250 is below 1 Eurocent per page including paper.
I have a video where i show it’s being used to “pirate” academic textbooks
🙂
Introducing the Kindle True.
Better buy a whole new machine instead of paying about a fifth of a million
dollars for ink! HOHOHOOOHOHOOHO
Dude… What about e-readers. This thinks hogs on energy and consumes
masses of paper for something that could be way more effective with
e-paper. I hope no library will spend their moneys on this crap.
I would definitely start going to the book store again if it had one of
these instead of buying on sites like amazon. Plus think of how easy it
would be to get those books that are constantly out of stock or on back
order.
@cdprhys People said the same things about vinyl records. The ebook trend
is following the same progression of vinyl to CD. The ebook will become the
primary medium of book consumption because of it’s low cost and easy
distribution. Paper books will still occupy a niche market, probably at a
higher cost. Finally, billions of dollars will be spent in an
(ass-backwards) attempt to create digital technology and E-readers which
emulate paper books.
