Printing on Demand

Amazon.com is now launching a print-on-demand program with their subsidiary BookSurge. This will help small time publishers sell titles which are less common at a reasonable price. It's good news to authors who are self-published as well, simply as a way to get their work out into the marketplace without a huge up-front expense to print and store inventory. It's about time this came about!

I'll be interested to see how the program works and if individual authors can get their works published without going through a major publishing house. This could be a huge income boost for all us starving authors. :-)
