paperback price changes

Createspace is how indie authors like me can offer you guys print books.  They print on demand one book at a time, instead of in lots. Createspace has always been affiliated with Amazon, but they were separate entities. In the next few months, they are merging.  This doesn't mean too much to me, but it will affect you guys.  KDP, which does the e-publishing for Amazon, currently has a paperback creating tool. Its pricing is different than Createspace's. Because of the merger, they are using only KDP's paperback pricing system. KDP's paperbacks are more expensive than Createspace's. So you will see a price increase on some, but not all, of my books if you buy them in paperback. Most of my books are also available on bn.com and other platforms. Because of the increase in printing costs, the prices will increase there too.

Just wanted you to know :)
