Amazon.com Announces Print-On-Demand Program
Amazon.com and BookSurge LLC (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amazon.com) announced a new Print on Demand program last Friday:
The new POD program removes the upfront economic barriers associated with traditional book publishing while making those titles available to the tens of millions of active Amazon.com customers. Books are printed as they are ordered, providing publishers an easy and economical way to bring back out-of-print titles and introduce new, lower-volume titles, offering Amazon.com customers a dramatically expanded selection of books to purchase.
I'm glad to see Amazon.com driving the cost of book publishing down. With all the Web-to-print systems being deployed it is becoming increasingly easier for aspiring authors to self-publish.
