I’ll simply note first that desktop-sized book printing is available. The quality is not what we bibliophiles might like, but I don’t expect progress to stop next Friday, either. There are already better quality single-unit printers in development.

I’m a little unclear on how my failure to note the Amazon dispute constitutes an “error.” There is indeed a tension between Amazon’s attempt to dominate the market and what individual writers might like. That sounds to me like another place for this editor/agent role to become useful. I do think if you feel so strongly about this, you should definitely write something of some greater length about it and publish it somewhere.
