Books from a Vending machine!

Here's an article about an interesting new booksales technique in France. Books in vending machines! Pretty cool!

Anyway, one interesting point is the cost of the books. Cheap enough to entice the impulsive buyer. :)

I get upset when my Snickers gets stuck. I can only imagine what I would do to the poor machine if I got gypped out of a book!

LOL - They said they've redesigned the machine so it doesn't DROP your book - because who wants a book that's all mashed from falling to the tray? :scared:

Apparently it has some kind of arm that picks up the book and deposits it in the slot.
