The biggest limitation I can see, as far as putting these machines in stores, is the price. They are about a hundred grand right now. Still, what would you have to invest to stock even a small bookstore? It may not be that far out of line.

As for the time issue, I think bundleing books, especially books of poetry, with audio books is the ticket. Imagine that with a printed book you got a CD. On the CD was the book, again, as an e book, and the book as an audio MP3 file that you could put in your IPOD, and also a regular wave file that you could play in your car or home cd player.

One title, four formats. Hey, FourMat Books. We could start a trend.

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.
