“ Our work with Condé Nast creates a new channel for customers to access the content they want from some of their favorite publications. And, when coupled with our scheduled delivery service, allows customers to get the content they want, whenever they want it.”
Stephen Nigro, senior vice president, Inkjet and Web Solutions, Imaging and Printing Group, HP
HP will sell you a $5.99-$10 monthly ink subscription, which notifies HP when your printer is low. Additionally, Condé Nast will push content to your printer from their magazines like Wired and Glamour. Before we snark, let’s remember that optimizing fulfillment over that last mile is a huge opportunity. Amazon experimenting with renting lockers in 7-11s for local delivery. Redbox is still going strong. If this article had “3D” in front of “printer”, the internet would be nerd-spasming with speculation about a future Amazon Prime with 2-second delivery. This is the right vision of the future but with the wrong nouns (“printer” and “magazines”.)
And if this sounds like an Onion article, it’s because it was. Let’s assume you pick up a connected printer costs for $100 (a conservative estimate) and opt for the high-end subscription ($120/year). We won’t count paper. In the first year, you’ll have spent $220, $20 more than a Kindle Fire. (Via TechCrunch)
