What is print on demand

www.bookpal.com.au This video explains the concept of print on demand and how this service helps the authors save cost and why it is good for the environment.

What is the best way for me to get published?

Let me provide a quick synopsis of my situation. I have written two novels that are finished and ready for print. My first one is a dystopian fantasy that is probably too "off-the-wall" to do very well with a public that prefers John Grisham and Dan Brown. My second one, however, is much more down-to-earth and may have mainstream appeal (at least I’d like to believe). I want to publish both of them. I do not want to spend what could be years trying to locate a traditional publisher that will do that for me. I do not possess the funds to do a "vanity" print (self-publish). I have already looked into "print-on-demand" services — one of those organizations wanted to charge for a paperback version of my first novel, which is outrageous and would all but guarantee 0 sales beyond my family and friends (and I would rather those folks not have to shell out so much for my material).

Does anybody on this site have any suggestions as to how I might proceed in publishing my books? Print-on-demand appears to be the best option for me, but I am in the hunt for a service that will offer my products at a reasonable price to consumers. Does anyone know of any such service, or have any other ideas as to how I might do this? Any advice that you can offer me will be greatly appreciated.
I’m going to leave this up here for another couple days to see what kind of answers I get. Many thanks to the few who have already responded. I appreciate your thoughts very much.

Are these right?

Different types of errors..Yes, I’m studying for a Java test tomorrow. That’s why I’m asking so much.

Umm anyways.

Are these correct?

Logic error - An error that will only change what you display; the program will still run without problem.
(e.g. adding 1 instead of subtracting 1)

Compile-time error - Is this also known as Syntax Error? An error that will not allow the program to run at all.
(e.g. forgetting a semicolon in a print line)

Run-time error - An error that will run for a short while, and will stop when it encounters an error.
(e.g. dividing by 0 [?])

Are these right? Please let me know. If you have anything else to add, it would be greatly appreciated.

Java is my worst class. :)
