Who has experience with KDP?

[Dana King]

I'm uploading a book to amazon this week. I've not subscribed to KP before, as I made previous books available at Barnes and Noble for Nook,a s well. This one is a Kindle exclusive. Is there any reason not to go with KDP? Plusses? Minuses?

Thanks.

I agree. You have to have some sort of promotional budget, especially since traditional publishers do very little to help their authors out. In too many cases, the advance barely covers the author's initial promotion costs. Leading to the obvious question: what's the point?
