Espresso Book Machine
Posted on Apr 24, 09 07:07 AM PDT
What does the Espresso Book Machine? Does it churn out books for coffee tables, or use coffee as a form of ink? Neither - this is in reality a self-contained 150 pages-per-minute printing and binding machine, which translates to producing a full book in just five minutes, where you can choose from a catalog of 400,000 references and all it takes is the push of a single button. This means customers can always walk up to the machine, choose a tome of their choice from the touchscreen, wait for 5 minutes and walk away with the printed book. It will cost around $43 to print a 300-page out-of-copyright book, placing it way out of reach of poorer nations where education is of utmost importance to break the cycle of poverty.
