It's actually not a bad idea. Keep in mind, that site sells the machines, not the books on demand.
I can imagine that a machine like that would be handy for a smaller bookstore or library that wanted to keep a much larger inventory of books on hand, but simply did not have the space to do so.
And/or a library or bookstore that served a large linguistically diverse population.
There are always people who are going to prefer or need pbooks, if only because the entry price of the ebook reader is rather steep, and I don't see it coming down anytime real soon.
