Or we could end up with mass market print on demand: if you get 10k people to request the paper version, it gets printed. It would be a win-win situation, since the people who want the printed version will advertise the book themselves. This removes the marketing costs, the formatting and cover would have been done already in the ebook version, so all that would be left would be the actual printing. And that could be done for $1/ paperback right?
