We have been predicting and hoping for this type of machine. Our article "How Bookstores Can Survive Amazon" discusses print on demand services at local bookstores, which we think is a central to their survival. Looks like this is practical now.
If I were you I'd get in to a deal for selling your 200,000+ books as ebooks also, since the future of reading is that, and probably your machine too :)
That way you'd benefit from customers printing your books and those that want just the pdf.
Great machine. Probably useful for academic institutions wanting to keep course books up to date. Authors of fiction whose back catalogue has disappeared out of print: C. J. Cherryh, for example. And for authors who need a small number of hard copies, so as to be eligible for certain prizes.
Exactly. This is perfect for universities where many, many professors publish their own books or have required reading selections which otherwise require fistfuls of photocopies or a half ton of textbooks.
Another useful method for books which are less than 80 pages, and which may be a condensed version of main points, or a study guide, etc., is to use the Blue Squirrel Click Books software. This enables one to print out double sided booklets on A4 or US-letter size paper on a laser jet or desk jet. This is then folded and stapled, with a long reach stapler, through the spine/fold to make a handy booklet.
Remarkable! ... You must deliver this machine to Ithaca, New York, where we have a university and a few colleges, and countless authors and aspiring ones.
If I ever become a millionaire, I'm buying one of these!

I'm pitching the idea of buying it as a social business to my faith-based organization. That way we'll never have to pay for another book!
