KDP Paperback

Wow - I decided to offer one of my ebooks as a paperback on Amazon - what a performance!
It took ALL DAY fiddling around with image sizes and adjusting the text. And then, when I finally got it right I discovered that for every paperback I sell for £5.99 I'll pocket £1.63 - just not worth it.

That's more than you'd make from a traditionally published book, and a traditional publisher will give you about the same amount of support to promote your book as KDP does.

@DunningKruger I have to be honest, once I worked it all out it was fairly quick and simple to do the other books and it can't hurt to have them offered as paperbacks for the few who want them. They take a lot longer "In Review" than ebooks tend to.

@TheLush As in any endeavor, you have to decide where to put your resources, and when self-publishing, your time is your primary resource. So, best of luck to you.
