That's a very interesting article. It looks like a PR puff piece, but I can well believe the facts it states are true. Three comments. Professor Rebsamen speaks of Bridge in glowing terms, and since they used him as an adviser I would assume they paid him handsomely for his expert advice, and he is not likely to bite the feeding hand.
Secondly, the article says Bridge is the only publisher to have set up such a full digital operation, including warehousing their products. Others haven't been willing to take the plunge. That could have something to do with the fact that regular printers/publishers don't have a guaranteed market for their products, where wholesale customers (orgs) can be ordered (or bypassed by Int Finance people with access to the checkbooks) to buy up to 200 copies of each title, whether they can move the merchandise to end-users or not.
Third, the article is limited to the production environment of the facility, and doesn't stray into the morass that is the CofS interacting with the real world.
