One of the coolest pieces of kit in our new office is by far the saddle stitcher on our Canon. Alright, so I may be alone in my evangelism, but it does do one thing very, very well. It prints pdfs as A4 and A5 booklets. For that matter, drop in a stack of single-sided pages, tap a few keys, and after a bit of rumbling it spits out a nicely folded, properly paginated, double-stapled book -- while using only a quarter of the paper you scanned.
We're getting close to a big reinvention here folks, because when amazon can talk to my canon, you can talk to yourself about the long awaited promise of an e-book. You'll find me happily spilling coffee and crumbs all over my new, marked-up-in-the-columns recyclable book.
And micro-publishing: well if you're not going fully open access, you've got to love what these folks are up to...
A final thought: Fedex has recently completed its buyout of Kinkos. I bet imaginative book publishers and vendors are salivating at the possibilities.
