However, Amazon KDP Select requires that you grant Amazon exclusive selling rights for your ebook. It is important to note that Amazon only requires exclusivity for your Kindle ebook version.

Print Books

The first thing to do is decide whether you want a paperback or hardback and what size you want the book. You have options on paper thickness too. Note that colour books are very expensive. See the Print Options. Both the cover and manuscript have to be supplied as PDFs which I create. The cover is made up of the front and back with spine as one piece. The spine width is dependent on paper quality and final number of pages.
