SPONSORED CONTENT: Coming Soon to a Bookstore Near You
How things have changed. Now there are digitally printed books at major book stores, at Amazon, and through numerous online booksellers.
The Changing Landscape
Publishers--even some of the largest--are seeking out print providers who can deliver on the promises of digital printing.
Out of Print is Out of Style: Backlist titles can be maintained at minimal or even zero-inventory levels when supported by digital printing, maintaining revenues for publishers, booksellers and authors. Similarly, out-of-print books get a new lease on life. For example, out-of-print titles may not exist digitally but hard-copies can be scanned and reborn as digital versions and be ready to print as needed to satisfy readers and add incremental revenue.
