>From my experience with Books on Demand: They let you submit the printing 
master in the shape of a pdf or postscript file, so the editing responsibility 
is 100% with you, and the printing result will depend on the quality of the 
file you provide. So, if we used the hi-res JPEGs or SIDs, that should be 
pretty good. (BoD's repro is fair enough.)

You pay a fee of a few hundred Euro/dollars to BoD, in return they will get an 
ISBN, enter your publication in various catalogues, make it available with 
Amazon etc. etc. Once somebody orders a copy, the order is processed 100% by 
BoD, they will print this single copy (sic -- they're fully automated for 
this), send it out, collect the money, and transfer your royalties.

All PR and markting remains up to you.

That's it in a nutshell...

seems to be doing virtually the same for the US market.
