Australian bookstores get first POD machines

 From the Sydney Morning Herald:

"Angus & Robertson today became the first Australian book chain to 
install the Espresso Book Machine (EBM), capable of printing, trimming 
and binding a paperback book on demand within minutes."

But they seem to have got the numbers wrong:

"Angus & Robertson said the range would expand daily, reaching 10,000 
within 18 months....This is significantly more than the 20,000 physical 
books a typical Angus & Robertson shop can hold,..."

It's a long time since I did maths but back then 10,000 was LESS than 
20,000. Do they perhaps mean 100,000? Anyway, things are on the move.

Jon.
