Expresso Book Machine

Article in Globe & Mail about a small bookstore in N.B. which prints on demand between 30 to 100 books a day. Article talks about these machines becoming popular. Now only some university libraries have them in North America. I used one printer here in Taiwan to print my own book in copies of 5 for less that $5 CDN each.
Is this contraption (still) the future of publishing?

Another article in G&M talks about Cdn Government support of book publishing in Canada. Is a system of small publishers better than one dominated by the large publishers?
