Of course, it would be hard to charge any kind of margin on the e-books as the customers can just whip out their own Kindle and buy the e-book directly from Amazon. And I don't know if it's even possible to become an e-book reseller like that. (Ie buy the right to re-sell a certain e-book 1000 times or whatever).
- GFischer 15y agoIf I were to tackle the book business, I'd like to try something like that: ebooks plus an on-demand printing service for those that like their physical books :) . I don't know if there's a good binder for such a service, but I've been demoed some very impressive printers at very cheap per-page prices on loan. The real problem, of course, is securing the copyrights and the right to print or resell the books.
