Can Newspapers use this device? Machine can print professional book in 4 Minutes for $8
Seeking Alpha has a blog post that talks about Harvard's New Book publishing machine that can print professional books in 4 minutes for $8.
Harvard Book Store in Cambridge, Massachusetts, unveiled the new $100,000 Espresso Book Machine, a publishing device that can print a paperback book at the push of a button.
The machine is pretty incredible: It can print a professionally bound book in four minutes for about $8!
Book lovers can request a tome that’s not in the store’s inventory and the Espresso can print it while they wait. Customers can also order books online and pick them up in the store or even have them delivered.
While the machine can be found in a few other bookstores, this is the first one in the Bay State and this particular machine includes Google’s (GOOG) already digitized texts, greatly expanding the inventory. OnDemand Books, the machine’s creator, has about 1.6 million titles in its catalogue and with Google’s contribution, the total number of titles to choose from comes to about 3.6 million.

Can Newspapers & Magazines be printed in less than 30 seconds for less than a $1? that would reduce a lot of the transportation & Inventory issues.
