Hmmm. This is cool, and could be a real boon for indie writers, such as us. But it would require a substantial infrastructure push by the bookstores (Who probably would be wary of it) and the makers of the device. It would be cool to get your favourite book out of a vending machine, though!

I still believe that the biggest problem for writers is TIME, not production costs. People only have so much time to read so many books a year, it seems. Books are already relatively cheap and easily accessible (at least corporate books are). The battlefield is in the reader time department. I don't believe they have a machine for that yet.

Great article David.

About OW!
Outsider Writers have been distributing chapbooks in dark subterranean caverns for too long. The corporate presses and literary institutions have no vision. The media is irrelevant. It's time to rise into the sun! Our Goal: Unite the write! We will join forces where we are strong, eliminate duplication of effort where we are weak and put the power and authority over literature back into the hands of the only legitimate owners: the authors and the readers.
