Changes to Amazon Kindle and Amazon CreateSpace

Amazon is winding down CreateSpace and having the authors move their printed version to KDP (think eBook) as they're moving the printing functions to that platform. If you currently own a Kindle copy of the cookbook it may disappear from your library. I'm trying to avoid that, but I will need to purchase new ISBN numbers and am still drudging through the details on moving my print copy to KDP and enabling all of the DRM pieces. There is a point at which the old version will get removed from KDP and a new version will replace it. I'm hoping it goes smoothly, but I've been hearing some horror stories about the process.

Please bear with me, and all of the other authors that have been using CreateSpace as we get things shuffled around to the appropriate places.

If you've downloaded a PDF copy from some "free" PDF site, I strongly urge you to get better anti-virus and anti-malware software and check your credit reports. These "free" sites are notorious for stealing information. The least of my worries is missing out on any royalties (frankly I'm lucky if I make $1/paperback and $0.50/eBook); I'm more concerned about the spread of more viruses and malware.
