For a second, I thought that was a Rand McNally Road Atlas!
What kind of tablet is that and what illuminates those thin screens?
if kodak spends millions of dollars to create a new product they want millions of people to use.
they better have an easy way for the 999,970,000 people who don't process their film.
its like making a car to sell to a region without gas stations, or roads ...
it kind of sounds like cadillac trying to sell SUV to the inhabitants of the amazon jungle.
i think you are right, some people will buy the film, and self process or send it to a lab
but a lot of people won't ( or maybe do it once ) because it is inconvenient as hell, and $$$.
we analog users are kind of crazy like that, we love inconvenience, we love chemicals that are toxic
that we might have a hard time getting rid of, and we love expensive...
to be honest, i was thinking of buying a brick of the film, and starting a kickstarter to crowd source
me the $$ to pay a lab to get it processed. or better yet, getting an account at a website called patreon
which is a platform that helps connect working artists or student artists or anyone else who creates
with patrons to fund them ...
so who knows ...
maybe i can find a wealthy benefactor to fund my chrome film fix...
I can weigh my padded mailer of film, print postage, and ship from the self service kiosk 24/7/365, then it arrives right back at my door. One trip to make, not two, to a place closer than a lab is likely to be. And realistically how many labs would it take before most people weren't closer to a post office?.
Seriously?, 10 CAD to mail anything over 15mm .. I've noticed that even very small items coming here to the US from Canada have very high shipping costs. I thought it was some sort of International rate.Canada Post has conveniently decided that any envelope that is more than 15mm thick, is a "parcel" with a minimum postage of 10 dollars even in the same city. Makes for Mail in Photo service to be expensive, as the return package is likely to also "qualify" as a parcel.

That's crazy I can order a single 7 watt LED light bulb from China, with free shipping for 1.75 USD. The US Postal service delivers it. I'm sure if I tried to mail the same 4x6x1 inch padded envelope across my city it would cost 5 bucks.
In the past I remember my Dad mailing Kodachrome Pre-Paid Processing mailers. It required 2 1st class stamps, back then 8 cents a piece.
Nuts!
