Now also in Italy with Mondadori Store and Prospero
The so-called Espresso Book Machine® is a printing and bindery plant that can be installed directly in a bookshop or a library and which can produce a book in a few minutes.
It’s a vending machine that distributes books and which is able to connect to a extended content network from all over the world, via a special sofware (EspressNet).
Now, thanks to Prospero, also Italian publishers can benefit from this innovative sales channel.
It’s simple and easy to use: it’s possible to print, bind and finish paperbacks in all languages just by pushing a button. The book will be ready directly in the bookshop and can be read immediately after a few minutes. Just the time to drink an espresso.
PUBLISHERS’ ADVANTAGES
Below you’ll find the advantages for publishers who profit from EBM’s commercial channel:

- manage long lines, and keeping the catalogue always alive;
- getting the same margins of a traditional book with the same risks of an ebook;
- no more returns, transportation nor stock management;
- no more sales loss due to sold out products while waiting for the new shipment;
