I would like to comment on a book composed by me-dealing with an ancient and supernatural love story. "IF THERE WAS REALLY SOMETHING, IT WAS THE TRUE LOVE BEFORE WHICH EVEN THE ALMIGHTY BOWED, EVEN THE DESTINY TOOK A TURN AND EVEN THE NATURE BROKE IT'S LAWS."
THE CREATION consists of a number of poems along with non-poetic texts together narrating an ancient emotional story.

It might be the Amazon brand name, but CreateSpace looks interesting.

Storme, you need to get over yourself! Just because YOU don't understand this technology, that doesn't mean you need to post negative comments! This isn't JUST about eBooks!!! Some people actually WANT to use their own computer to self-publish. That's why it's called SELF-publishing!
Even YOU shoule understand that, even if you ARE so up yourself you can barely freakin' walk!!
Like I said, get over yourself.

I reckon this is a great idea and was just wondering which one was best??
Gracias
Ciao!
Andrea

I don't really think this is going to help someone by the likes of me because I am not looking to publish an eBook or self-publishing on my own computer. If you really want my opinion, you should rename this site to "Self-Publishing eBooks or Using Your Own Computer"!!!!

A lot of options. I have to narrow it down and do research. Do you know anything about www.scribd.com?

Another one to add to the list is 48 hour books. I haven't used them myself but have heard very good things about them.

I have used both Blurb and Lulu thus far, and they are both excellent. The quality, ease of use and turn-around time is awesome.

You have done a very nice job of providing an overview for would-be print-on-demand publishers. When printing my titles, I went with CreateSpace. They don't hit you will a bunch of pricey fees up-front, which is nice.

Hi, nice article. I just would like to suggest our website wwaow.com, as the website didn't get mentioned in this article. We're an online publisher located in Belgium but we have divisions in countries like the United States, Italy, Latvia, Poland. With wwaow it's possible to upload your own book with an easy wizard, to sell your book in the book store or publish a private book. No start-up cost or conditions. Only requirement is buying 5 copies of your book yourself, but this requirement will be removed in the next month.

With our service, it's also possible to make personalized agendas or meeting books and we're continously trying to add new wizards and features on the website.

The easiest thing in the world is to find someone who will print your book for you. The hardest thing in the world is to find someone who will buy the book from you. Getting on Amazon is easy, selling books on Amazon? (Your lucky if you sell one a month, and if you don't they drop you.). Who will find your book among the millions listed, and why would they buy and spend time with a new author nobody's ever heard of; would you? have you? If your plan is to try radio guest interviews - good luck. They get hundreds of requests from authors a week and once they've past your topic they won't repeat. I could go on and on - get real - unless you know EXACTLY how you plan to sell 100 books, 200 books, 1000 books etc.etc.etc. forget starting the book. It usually takes an average author a year to write a book. That's an awful lot of time to spend in order for your ego to enjoy one bound volume on a dusty shelf that you can point to once in a while when a buddy drops by. Your not a writer if you have no audiance. Spend your time testing (not planning) your sales approach. If you nail that, then write your book. Last word: beware of people who promise to sell your book for you, you're gonna cry like a baby when you hear them say "Well, we tried.". Put your money behind your own efforts. Most books fail, that's why its so hard to find a publisher, agent, etc. And that's why most publishers stick with known writers, they (and their wife and kids)can't afford the money losses on new spec.want-a-be's. Are you willing to put serious money and time behind what you write, then don't ask them to unless you are out-of-the-ball-park sensational..

I've used blurb, using my own design—it takes more work.

Here's my book: LA1980: a photo memoir

I am still in the process of writing a 400-page book using blurb. It is a nightmare and I have to warn everybody not to use this. It may be nice for a picture book (it is good with pictures), but when you have a few hundred pages with various fonts and indented text it simply cannot handle that. The program hangs itself up totally unexpectedly on many occasions. If you delete one character somewhere in the beginning of a chapter containing indented text further on, it totally screws up the formatting and you can start all over again.

Great comparison. I like Create Space; I am even more confident in Amazon now that I've seen such a broad review of other options. My book with be out soon and available through Amazon and at www.sugarfreecoaching.com. For creating online versions try www.issuu.com; it's very user friendly and a nice finished product.
