The Future Of Bookstores

Amazon.com has over 230,000 titles
available for sale
in eBook.
Your local bookstore, within years,
will have the same availability
in print.

How?

The Blackwell Expresso Book Machine
has been unveiled in the UK.
This machine prints any book on demand
(112 pages per minute)
with library quality binding.

That means bookstores no longer
have to carry inventory,
pay for shipping costs,
or worry about running out of stock.
The space needed for the same sales decreases.

Now, you may be thinking…
revolutionary for bookstores
but I’m not in the book business,
what does this mean for me?

It means your business can change overnight.
You have to be prepared to change also.
