Cheaper to give books away GARRINGREEN HOTSPOT -- Each Internet bookmobile has 1m digitised public domain books. It takes about 20 minutes to print out a 300-page Wizard of Oz. If you have four printers, you can produce up to 30 books an hour. And you can do an edition of one, which is interesting. Harvard says it costs $2 to lend a book out, then put it back on the shelf, so it's cheaper to give them away. Info from Brewster Kahle x_ref153
