Big publishers are like newspapers and huge sunk costs in printing and binding plants staffed by union workers.

The real impact is that anybody with some desktop publishing software can become author and publisher of his own work. Imagine what that is going to do to the established publishing industry.

After all, POD books any other way still cost whatever the bar code price or whatever discount the bookstore has set its database to charge. The good part is nobody has to pay shipping. How the heck will the store/library pay for the machine is what I want to know - they may charge MORE for the books than list price to do that.

Plus think of how easy it would be to get those books that are constantly out of stock or on back order.
