This is truly excellent!
As we are finding with photographs, there is still a desire for people to have physical analog manifestations of things they look at and read. There is a quality (not so hash on the eyes) and convenience (no batteries, cords, worrying about getting them wet, etc) to these things that technology has not yet replicated.
What is also great here is the use of on-demand creation. The Espresso book machine is the 3D printer of printing; there no longer seems to be a need to make these things in huge quantities and let them sit in warehouses. Well, maybe there was when people were buying more print books (citation needed) but there seems to be a market for which that is not the case now. It also seems like the price point seems to be reasonable enough that people might pay for physical on-demand printed books.
Great stuff!
