Now, however, it is possible to publish your paperback titles directly on Amazon KDP and have your royalty payments collected and paid along with your Kindle ebook payments. This is a much more sensible way to manage your book sales and income.
While Amazon started offering paperback publishing some time ago on KDP, many of the Createspace features were missing. One of the most obvious was that you could not purchase copies of your book.
But recently, Amazon has upgraded its paperback services and is now quite close to matching the services Createspace offers.

I have already started moving books….So over Createspace. However I am going to Lulu instead and I am recommending my clients do the same.
This looks good so far. I have never used Creatspace – we went straight to KDP paperback, it looks like we will appeciate the improvements next time, but I see no mention of Australia. It’s expensive to post books or you have to wait till the next visitors from Australia are going back to make sure the relis get their gift books ( whether they want them or not! ) … and of course there’s no chance of Aussies you don’t know buying your paperback.

If you have published via Createspace, this is a good article to read.
