Great rates for low volume numbers but they don't do print on demand. Depending on the application, you can get 100 books for less than $250. Lynn,

I currently sell an e-book and never really thought about making it into a paperback. I've only had about 5 inquiries from customers in the past two years about whether a paperback version was available. I can see now how a physical version at a higher cost might encourage more people to buy the e-book version instead (with a MUCH higher profit margin! :) ) -David Lynn,

I do intend to turn some digital products into physical and plan to use Kunaki.com, as their prices are very reasonable. I have the capability to print CD/DVDs here with my computer, but it's not practical to do that for more than the master copy really - for mass production, I'm using Kunaki. So it goes back to - just because I technically *can* doesn't mean I should, better & cheaper (and a time saver!) to leave it to the professionals. ;) I’ve used CafePress, but their base cost is pretty high, so can’t see where you could really make much profit on selling that way – it would make the retail price pretty high.

Are you referring to the prices I quoted on products towards the end, or where I quoted Jimmy D Brown from the PDF file more towards the beginning? Sorry - not sure I understand your question :) Hi Matt,
