Hi, interesting question! What is your concern vs us delivering straight to your door? We should be able to offer a variety of sizes/qualities. If though there is a reason for which we wouldn't be of help, we may consider instead of sending books, to offer production ready .pdf files, which you can share with your printing shop. Noted

Thanks for the reply, haven't thought about this that way. Honest answer, we haven't decided on a pricing plan just yet (thoughts are always welcome). Will defo consider making more prominent that it is currently free + T&Cs

Hi, yes, we snapshot the html page you are looking at (instead of just using the url) for that reason alone

Fair point and thanks for the feedback and suggestion!

Thanks for sharing. Save as pdf is quite crappy, at least from a reading experience point of you. Screenbreak would definitely offer the option to send your pdf to ereaders and support formats like epub/mobi, since our .pfds are derived from html

Thanks for sharing, that's cool and I can only assume the technical challenge back then. Hope we have a better ending but if you are still in touch with anyone from that dev team, plz intro me ([email protected]). Maybe we can get this second chance! #roadtoredemption

Not yet, because we do not save articles via url but via our extension which snapshots html. That way, we can offer our service to user's paid content as well.

Having said that, and based on the feedback we read tonight in this thread, integrating with pocket and similar sources in some way, shape or form seems like a top priority!

Print on demand is a challenge by itself. Depending on where your offer the service, you can source local small printing facilities that focus on PoD. I have done that in UK where I am based. However for global reach you would need to partner with companies like blurb or lulu. We are exploring a combination of both but it is early to pick a clear winner. Logistics are hard, especially today, what can I say.
