UPDATE FROM KDP DASHBOARD
Over the next few weeks, we are making updates that allow you to order proofs and author (wholesale) copies of your paperbacks on KDP.
Proofs allow you to review a physical copy of your draft paperback prior to publication. Learn more HERE.
Author copies are copies of the live version of your paperback that you can order from Amazon. Learn more HERE.
When you order copies of your own book, you pay just the printing costs plus shipping and applicable taxes. Unlike CreateSpace, KDP proof and author copies for the UK and the rest of Europe are printed and shipped from within Europe.
By publishing a paperback on KDP, you can reach more readers through Amazon websites in the US and Europe, as well as manage your print and eBook publishing from one website. In addition, you can use the KDP website in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese or Dutch. Learn more here.
Best regards,

Good to know! It definitely looks as if CreateSpace is being shut down in favour of KDP Print – the signs are about as subtle as being hit over the head with a slice of lemon wrapped around a gold brick.

I wonder if this applies to those of us who have already published our paperbacks through Createspace.

We might all need to switch over to KDP Print, Annabelle 😃

It sounds like this is going to be the way to go. I get the feeling that Createspace may fade away in the future. Time to learn something new. Thanks for the info. 🙂
