>published via Amazon CreateSpace (which Amazon seems to be phasing out).

I just published my second book through CreateSpace, any phasing-out would be news to me, but I'm very curious what you mean. My experience the second time around seemed basically identical to the first—what's getting phased out?

Since Amazon owns both CreateSpace and KDP, it does seem inevitable that they will eventually merge them under the KDP umbrella. Although there is no fixed timeline, the launch of KDP Paperback brings this one step closer. I like CreateSpace, so I hope it persists as long as possible. https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G201952960

Oh wow, I hadn't heard about KDP Paperback. They're literally telling people to start moving stuff over. Thanks for responding.
