Our vision for POD is a world where customers can find and buy any book in any language on Amazon; where publishers and authors can distribute their titles across Amazon’s global websites without having to hold physical inventory; where every title is always “in-stock” and customer orders are manufactured in real-time and delivered on-time; where we seek out latest technology trends to build exciting new on-demand products for customers.
