If I recall correctly (and sometimes I do), Create A Space was reflective of my only complaint about Amazon. They seem a bit self-centered. Much like the Kindle Platform, it doesn't work and play well with others. By that I mean that books published as Kindle books are formatted as Kindle books and can't be read on other readers without using Kindle software. I don't think amazon gives books published through Create A space their own ISBN numbers, and I'm pretty sure they don't catalog the works through Bowkers and Nielson (catalog systems for books). Lulu, on the other hand, does both of those things free of charge to the writer/self-publisher. Lulu also provides relatively pain-free (but cost free) wizards for cover design and layout. I don't know what amazon's Create A Space does for that kind of thing.<br /> Overall, I favor Lulu. Lulu, by the way, will list books through Amazon...but Amazon doesn't return the favor.David J.

Can you still it even though you are working with Lulu now?Jeffrey Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01373848801727995732noreply@blogger.com
