I want to publish one book with about 1,200 pages. We are talking about a book for daily use
My requirements are:

Print on demand (POD)
paper of "bible" type (to avoid a book with a too thick spine)
paper with good quality (for resist daily use)
hardcover binding (for resist daily use)
Online sales platform

I have already published a book on Blurb. The quality is good, and they have their own online sales platform. But Blurb limits the total page to 480 and does not offer the possibility of thin paper (bible type).
I have also looked at IngramSpark, they print books of about 1,200 pages, but they do not offer a good quality type of thin paper. They have Groundwood Paper available, but I don't think it is suitable for my purpose.
Do you know any options for my requirements?

I have published several long books with IngramSpark and the quality is good. ("Steam Submarine" by Robert Denethon) And yes the price is slightly higher than a traditional printer might charge per item, but the tradeoff is you can do print on demand so there is little up front cost for you.
If you really want Bible style pages and so run with a traditional printer you will have a large up front cost and need to have a print run of several thousand at least. This is quite costly.
Good luck!
