Erm..did anyone watch the video? While certainly impressive, it prints like a page every 3-4 seconds. Not a technology I'd be willing to stand in line for is there is more than 1 person ahead of me.
It's not 1 page every 3-4 seconds, it's 4 pages. It's printed in duplex and then folded into a book. Think about it.
Also if you listen to the video all the way through, she mentions that the speed of printing is dependent on the printer used. Spend more, faster printer, faster books (up to one per minute, they claim.. of course I don't think they mean War and Peace).
