Books on demand?

According to this, patrons of the New York Public Library will soon be able to use the machine at left to "print off books free of charge, the end result of which is supposedly 'indistinguishable from the factory-made title.'"

This looks like those self-checkout lines at the supermarket--cool, but the kind of thing where you get stuck waiting for an hour behind some 54-year-old guy who's totally confused by it but determined not to ask for help, all so you can use it for three minutes to print out a 35-page-long novella.
