A Spanish-language portal dedicated to books and literature; it distributes and selles eBooks and Print-On-Demand (POD) titles, as well as used books.

It also makes and sells printed books and has free, downloadable offers for personal and palm computers, available online.

To print books on demand means that the publisher does not keep a stock or inventory of each book; instead, each book sold is printed by request, when a customer makes a sale and thus, only the exact amount of books are printed.

This system allows those publishers that embrace it to lower their costs on inventories, security and all things related to keeping an actual stock of things, which may seem a simple matter of putting all boxes in an orderly fashion, but actually takes quite more than that.. Besides, this brings another advantage: ironically, by not keeping fixed stocks, no book will be completely sold out and titles will remain available, no matter what.

For those authors that finance their own projects, this is a real blessing because it lowers the risks of any sort of financing and eases their own creative work; thus, they have more time available to actually write and offer their knowledge and ideas to the public.

And for all of us, it implies that less energy and natural resources are needlessly consumed, less trees and forests are cut and logged, and in this way, a better system for distribution and promotion of literary works grow, which at the same time helps us to care better for our environment.

At Andinia, we could not ask for more, and we applaud this sort of initiatives that might help us to improve our world, which is sorely in need for some culture, especially in the case of some world leaders.
