Interesting. The article says $0.08 per page up to a hundred pages (presumably cheaper beyond that?) plus a couple of dollars for the cover.

My PoD novel costs $4 plus shipping for author copies from Createspace, so for new books it doesn't look competitive unless it's something you must have right now or the shipping cost to where you live is high.

One thing I've noticed from the videos is that it seems to throw away about half the paper that it uses (printing each page on a much larger sheet than is required for a novel), which can't help the cost.
