[sdiy] From Bernie of Electronotes

[Mike HEQX]

Amazon does print on demand. You order a book and it's printed for you. 
The magic of digital printing. A 200 page book costs about $2.00 to 
produce ( probably half that for Amazon ). Could sell for any price.

Works great for short run books that are under a certain page count.
