Automated Book Machine

It appears that I can’t give the name of a new computerized automated printing machine for books on this forum, so I’ll just say that it exists. This type of machine can be found in a number of libraries, colleges and book stores. As a reader, you can look up a book and have it printed out in a matter of minutes. As an author, all you have to do is have your book and cover in a PDF format and download it into the machine’s computer and you can request a number of copies of your book to be printed. I think it is a great way to get a printed copy of a book instantly. What do you think?
P.S. I’m not a salesperson for this machine.

I don't see how this would be any different from a photocopy of a book?

I'm guessing it's supposed to be a lot faster considering it takes minutes to print a book? How much does this cost though, we know ink is crazy expensive! Is it cheaper then just going to the store and purchasing a bound book? I'm assuming these are just paper pages and aren't bound together in any way.

This machine will print bond copies just like you find in a book store. I'm, going to take a chance and mention the name of this fantastic invention, it's called the Espresso Book Machine. Google it for more information.
