Kindle/ePub and audio books are great, authors are publishing more content from what I've seen that would be prohibitive to do so with print.

Personally, I need to not stare at a screen at some point and need to use print. It would be great if Amazon or someone else had a service that would take pdfs and epubs print them as mass market paperback and ships it to you. A lot of content is kindle/digital only these days unfortunately. I would think it won't cost > $20 per-print, I'd be willing to pay twice that plus shipping. Even for older books, you can only get used versions, and even then if you're lucky. It would be nice if the digital versions were available for on-demand printing.

I'm not an expert, but I think they'd probably have to negotiate additional rights with the authors, even for print-on-demand.

		everybody wins. amazon, publishers, authors, they can all get more revenue. Especially for things like novellas, short stories, mangas,etc.. where mass market publication doesn't make sense. or to gauge interest prior to mass-market publication. But for existing works, you're right, that might be a pain, especially then the authors are deceased.
