The old way

What you're actually paying elsewhere.

IngramSpark charges $49 per title just to set up — paperback, then another $49 for hardcover, plus markup on every copy. KDP gives you “free” printing but locks the books to Amazon and takes 40%. Local printers want 100-unit minimums and your garage.

Authors who hold their books.

I ordered 25 copies for a signing. They arrived in a week. People couldn't tell the difference from a Big Five title.

IngramSpark charged me $49 to set up my paperback, then another $49 for the hardcover. Here? Zero.

I sell at farmers markets. Ordering 10 copies at a time at cost changed my margins completely.

My local bookstore wanted 5 copies on consignment. Printed and shipped in 4 days. Try that with KDP.
