“This could change bookselling fundamentally,” said Blackwell chief executive Andrew Hutchings. “It’s giving the chance for smaller locations, independent booksellers, to have the opportunity to truly compete with big stock-holding shops and Amazon … I like to think of it as the revitalisation of the local bookshop industry. If you could walk into a local bookshop and have access to one million titles, that’s pretty compelling.”
This looks very interesting. Printing books on demand. Better than waiting one week for a book bought at amazon.co.uk to be delivered in Portugal, would be to walk in a bookshop in Lisbon and have the book immediately. (Note: books that otherwise are not available in local bookshops)
