Do you have any concrete thoughts that you would want implemented in this domain ?

Amazon/Kindle self publishing is actually a less known but pretty clever innovation they did, especially for printed physical books. The books are printed on-demand after a customer places order on Amazon, instead of advanced publishing. This cuts down a lot on costs and resources for each book, cuts out lot of middlemen for a writer and also provides avenue for writers to go direct to market without giving up huge profits to publishing houses.

Print On Demand has been around for decades. Before Amazon, it was companies like Lulu. I haven’t used Amazon’s POD, but I’m pretty sure the concept itself isn’t their innovation.
