What a great tour and experience. It certainly wasn't what I pictured it was going to be. It was interesting to see how they take an actual book and turn it into a digital one. Now old books get a new life to them in digital form and a longer life. Though I don't know how we are going to form all books this way due to copyrights but I guess that will change eventually too. The way technology is changing it is so much easier just to download a book instead of going to the store to get or have to wait for it to come in the mail. This is going to be the future for books and Kirtas has shown that.

Just wondering about your tour of Kirtas. Did you see them in actual production mode (with one operator to one machine, with an operator flattening each page by hand after the machine has turned it)? Or was it their canned demo, where they have a very "well-behaved" book which can actually be turned automatically?

Steve, Yes we saw the machine in production in their service bureau.
