Goodreads Malaysia discussion

From The Star, http://thestar.com.my/lifestyle/story...

Thus begins the story of the book vending machine in Malaysia. According to Kee, a prototype is currently at the testing stage; MPH aims to launch the final versions in the Klang Valley at the KL Bookfair next month.

This is a new territory for MPH so the company has thoroughly explored and analysed the challenges that come with this new sales avenue.

“We are going to place the machines in universities, hospitals, banks, office buildings and LRT (Light Rail Transit) stations."

I don't like it. Still prefer caressing (yes, caressing!) the book before deciding to buy it or leave it.

I like it. Very Japanese. Although it depends on the kind of books they offer. If it's just those 'how to get rich by blogging' books, then they're just wasting time.

I saw those type of machines in Korea, but the book that they are selling are Blood type personalities books, tour guide books and maps.

I'm wondering what kind of books that MPH offer to us?

Maybe they'll update the vending machine once a week? It's a good idea... I hate lining up in line ^6

nanti buku tu tak lemau ke kalau lama dalam machine tu? *gurau

Vacuum sealed hahah

walaupun nampak macam menarik tapi saya jadi tertanya-tanya buku jenis apa yang akan dijual melalui cara ini hehe

mungkin buku new arrivals atau bestsellers atau special offers

kalau harganya sama seperti harga air vending machine lagi menarik haha joking :p

hahaha.. bagus juga macam tu. :DD

I like the concept, but am wary at the fact that it will very likely be limited to Best-Sellers only.

looks great!!adakah buku2 tu akan golek2 macam tin minuman?uhuk2..

Tak. Akan jatuh ke bawah macam paket makanan ringan.

oh..buku2 tu berbungkus plastik tak?machine tu kuat tak? terfikir untuk hayun kayu besbol dan ambil semua buku sebab duit tak cukup!!XD
