Google plans to print 2m books
GOOGLE yesterday unveiled plans to print 2m books after striking a deal with a book printing company.
Over the last seven years, Google has been scanning millions of out-of-print books from libraries and made them searchable on the internet.
But now bookstores that purchase the Espresso Book Machine – which is made by Google’s partner in the venture, On Demand Books – will be able to print these off as and when customers demand them.
The Espresso Book Machine costs $140,000 (£85,000) and can print a 300 page book in four minutes.
