Unless they can make this change for free it's probably a bad overall decision as books are going to specialty for those who want hard copy or digital for the rest. |
Kodak is still quite strong in corporate document imaging technology.
Their roll as a household consumer brand has has been marginalized, but that's not the whole company. POD is right up their alley.
And they still make film.
