I used to do this kind of thing when I was taking a long flight. I'd organize all of my unread Instapaper articles and print it into little bound together book at Kinkos. I told someone about it once and their response was, "Do you just hate the environment?"
Seems like you could probably hook this up for Medium using RSS feeds.
Clever and £4.99 isn't a bad price. Unfortunately it's only available in the UK right now.
This is similar to Personal Paper which was actually taken down due to legal issues several weeks ago. Maybe its creator, @wadus, can fill us in.
Re; copyright, presumably it's treated as personal consumption, like printing something off your computer. Pocket should introduce this concept, would be a great way of actually getting through all the stuff I save there.
Had a good exchange on Twitter about this: https://twitter.com/libovness/st.... The person I was tweeting with suggested that it might make more sense if you could register the blogs/people who you will **always** read and whose writing tends to be on the longer side. Would make total sense to me.
Looks great! Personal Paper temporarily shut shop due to copyright issues; a precautionary measure whilst they take legal advice on whether they can proceed. Interested to know whether this will suffer the same.
This should exist for Medium - where I can just "subscribe" to some writers and receive their writing as a printed paper. I'm actually gonna take a look at viability of this.
Report
This is a really cool idea, I buy the occasional Sunday newspaper hoping for there to be content I'll enjoy, but usually it's 99% crap I'm not interested in at all.
I guess it's going to be very difficult / impossible for sites where their main income is advertising revenue to swallow this idea, as the only party that's going to make money from the content is PaperLater.
Will be interesting to see how this pans out, hopefully the founders will make plenty of blog posts about it all.
