But Lulu, great as it is, is no Amazon; people don’t just go there to browse. So as an experiment, I just uploaded my book to Amazon via CreateSpace. (See below for URL.) Despite directions that were a little unclear, I managed to create PDFs to CreateSpace’s specifications. I was charged only for the printing and shipping of a proof copy, which was printed on an HP Indigo digital press. It looked as nice as the copies I had printed years ago, with a glossy cover that doesn’t quite lay flat but looks great. I was particularly impressed by the free ISBN number Amazon tosses in.
