Show HN: PrintReadyBook

PrintReadyBook wants to turn your random idea into a full-blown “book” in minutes: chapters, a cover, and print-ready PDFs. But the HN crowd smelled drama faster than the ink could dry. One commenter rolled their eyes at “AI slop again,” while another turned it up to eleven: “just raw slop, straight from the slopperizor,” declaring the internet a little “deader.” A third went scorched earth, blaming “greed” for pushing humanity toward “worldwide idiotism.” That’s a lot of heat for a tool that promises a manuscript PDF, an editable Word file, and AI cover art.

Not everyone was outraged; some asked practical questions. “Why did you make this? Who is your target market?” And price jabs landed: the site looks like an early prototype, “nothing I would spend 19$ on.” Several demanded reading samples to judge quality and warned publishers would reject AI books, though they conceded a market might exist for novelty gifts—think personalized mugs turned paperback. The site even notes you’ll need to manually reformat the Word doc for print (auto-reformat “coming soon”). Whether this becomes a guilty pleasure or just more spam, the Make a Book button awaits, and crowd is split between curiosity and a hard nope.
