Print on Demand Bookstores

Will print on demand bookstores change the game? I recently read this post written by someone who's perfect bookstore contained banks of Espresso Book Machines.

I personally think that bookstores offer more than just the option to purchase a book. There's no serendipity in getting a paperback printed from a print-on-demand book machine.

Then again...

I used to think that cover art was an essential part of the music buying experience along with the joy of flicking through racks of CDs. But I haven't bought a CD in a shop for, well, more than 4 years.

I wrote about it on the RISG New Tech blog.
