No chance at their prices, they will not even get a foothold. The only advantage that Blurb brings, and a rather limited one at that, is a worldwide marketplace. It is much simpler to print a few, and sell physical copies as well as Kindle editions through Amazon. One of my friends who runs a studio will print a 5x7 book with 20 inkjet prints, bound professionally, at under US$20.
