In order to do that they will very likely have to pay a printing company to do it.

Amazon already offers Print On Demand (POD) and they're not alone in the field. As the technology improves, the equipment will likely get more affordable allowing even more competition. It is currently significantly more expensive than mass produced books: $25+ for a modest sized book with very plain binding. However, even if the price never went down, that's not too bad if you consider that we will likely be buying mostly digital copies at lower prices and paying for far fewer print copies.
