Indeed it is. If you knew anything about the printing and bindery processes involved, you'll realize this is a pretty big breakthrough. Factor in the fact that you need to build the machine so that a relative novice can operate AND service it, and it's quite a challenge they've answered.
Of course, like all technology, the machine will eventually shrink and economies of scale will kick in and make this an affordable addition to many bookstores and libraries.
Either that or e-paper will finally take off and leave this device obsolete.
