Multiple POD machines would be a popular feature too.Catherine Stinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131569196977321229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-47195142990689768862013-11-06T13:40:01.589-08:002013-11-06T13:40:01.589-08:00If anyone reading this wants to fund me, I'll ...If anyone reading this wants to fund me, I'll build one, probably in a major literary hub like San Francisco, NYC or Seattle.Graeme Inghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641039815141105076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-43499762390010618432013-11-06T09:15:38.141-08:002013-11-06T09:15:38.141-08:00Now that's a bookstore!

Difficult to see how the store would make money though. Most bookstores are based on a significant cut of a traditionally published title. As Indie works become more popular it is uncertain how a brick-and-mortar store can operate with the narrow margins of Indie pricing. They could charge a lot for coffees and booze, I guess. :)Graeme Inghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641039815141105076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-6202556182530945562013-11-05T19:57:55.810-08:002013-11-05T19:57:55.810-08:00Everything you just described could realistically ...Everything you just described could realistically be in a bookstore today ... someone out there with pots of money needs to roll out this model ... now!widdershinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04205462833259334647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-22258610341079226152013-11-05T13:09:29.424-08:002013-11-05T13:09:29.424-08:00This is so fun, Graeme!
