I have gone, as the technical term has it, "wide for the win". This means that, having lost my Amazon KDP account, I am now publishing my books through other means. The main one of these being Draft2Digital, who do the same as Amazon KDP in terms of taking digital books and supplying them to devices.
While Amazon's Kindle is the brand leader, and the vast majority of people use that, there are others. So now my books are available on Kobo, Barnes & Noble's Nook, Apple books, and two things I'd not heard of Vivlio (France) and Thalia (Germany). I should also be on the library service's Borrow Box system, and in time I should appear on Hoopla, Bibliotheca, Scribd, Overdrive, Baker & Taylor and, possibly, Amazon's Kindle via a circuitous route.
Draft2Digital are not, apparently, so good for Print On Demand paperback books, so I continue investigating ways of making those happen.
One Print On Demand system is Lulu, through which I have published Prince Of Denmark Street. I am in the process of getting that on sale widely, let us see if it sells as many as the half dozen copies Amazon ever shifted.
Meanwhile my graphic novels are available, as always, on Etsy. As is the Eurovision Colouring Book, thanks to me doing a short print run (of just 10 copies) through Mixam. I'll still end up making just two quid a copy, which was all I got through Amazon, the only difference being the effort I have to go to of printing and posting them.
The publishing empire begins again.
