Do you think that will be the norm in the future?
I think it has to be. If you quantify the transaction costs for typical print orders they are quite high. But in an automated scenario, where the printer manages new orders as they come in, suddenly that entire infrastructure that manages reprints is gone. If you have corrections it gets a little more complicated, so maybe start with the deep backlist stuff, which is basically what a POD program does.
