Books on Demand?

Books while you wait?

I thought that this was interesting. I see no reason why it could not also be set up to deliver ebooks, even if in just text form? And yes I am aware of the usual piracy vs. DRM problem with that. In league with the Google Books project it could also open up distribution of out-of-print books, no?

How much do they cost?

It would be neat to have one of these, even though I read ebooks now.
