I don't profess to be an expert Claude. The extent of my knowledge of POD is reading a few "whether POD is right for you" articles, probably written by people who had a vested interest in the old way!

If it now matches the quality of traditional printing then you are right, there are interesting times ahead in publishing. Presumably it's probably only a matter of time before the big publishers start using POD for specialist books, if they aren't already.

As a self publishing author does POD change the challenge of marketing your book and getting retailers to sell it?

I guess not having to spend tens of thousands of dollars on your first print run would help because you could use those funds to market the book. I can see that POD would be suited to some genres more than others.
