‘Build your own book’: BookRiff to help readers enjoy short stories and chapters via POD

By David Rothman

“Effectively BookRiff allows publishers to upload chunks of content, most likely chapters and short stories, to a database. A user can then search the site for interesting chunks and create her own anthology which can then be submitted automatically to a print on demand facility.” – Richard Nash on the service, now in beta (via Michael Cairns).

Details: Nonfiction such as textbooks, cookbooks and travel guides, not just short short collections, could benefit.
