I published 4 books. First I used chapbooks.com, which no longer exists. After that I tried lulu.com and the problem was the distribution. They don't have a good deal to distribution worldwide and part of my audience was in other countries other than US. I then switched to using createspace from Amazon. The process was a lot easier and smoother with Amazon and the distribution is better there too. I started with the print on demand version and it was very easy to make the ebook version. The books are available on Amazon site and can be sold worldwide.

Do you happen to know if createspace have good distribution through Ingram (who own Barnes and Noble)? Or through independent booksellers? Or are they mainly through Amazon?

Could you elaborate on the problems with distribution at Lulu?
