Personalized Books

Today, the epub movement has connected with the print on demand movement, to allow anyone to create a personalized book, even of the classics.
Here are some of the companies.
--blurb.com -- You can upload your own pictures and text, create the book and then have it printed and delivered. The process is oriented to books with lots of pictures and creative layout.
-- bookbrewer.com -- This site is for aspiring authors. In minutes you upload your manuscript and it becomes an epub, available for marketing in all the traditional channels. If you want to print the book and get it delivered to you, the option is there.
Both of these technologies will be demonstrated at the Personalize MEdia Conference in Boulder, CO, June 20-21.
