Basically a vending machine where you select the book you want and it prints it out for you right there and then in minutes.

Here's an old (2009) article about such a machine.

Places like Waterstones etc who are dying in competition with amazon and so on could make a killing with machines like these in their stores.

Did I miss something somewhere?
