I must admit I found the explanation confusing as I thought that Amazon had their own POD operation.<br /><br />I suspect that the eBook version of LA ULTIMA CRUZADA has not sold well because it was only recently released in electronic format. For some reason Lulu.com had not processed my change from private to public access until a month ago, and then Amazon took a fortnight to add it to their catalogue. With luck it might sell a few copies over the next couple of months.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-33597283083740652492018-05-07T17:56:26.226+01:002018-05-07T17:56:26.226+01:00Mike Lewis,

It has various operations one of which is acting as a book wholesaler so it could be that Lulu are supplying Ingram who are distributing to Amazon?<br /><br />Ingram also have a POD operation which could be printing the books when they are ordered by Amazon. Amazon has its own POD operation/publisher in Createspace (though I think there is also another as part of is Kindle KDP operation).<br /><br />I wonder if people are buying paper versions of La Ultima Cruzada because they assume it will have lots of illustrations? As for you final comment, I seem to have ended up owning both paperback and e-book versions of the Portable Wargame books. Congratulation on your continuing sales.Mike Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05231537324248937676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-53573279734569654102018-05-07T17:51:59.098+01:002018-05-07T17:51:59.098+01:00Glad to see that sales are going well.

Interestingly, the feedback I have had is that quite a few people buy the eBook and then buy a hard copy edition because they like to have a physical copy they can read and use.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-91180444705354671432018-05-07T12:20:56.873+01:002018-05-07T12:20:56.873+01:00Well done!

The last is a book about the members of Hertfordshire Masters' Lodge who served during the Great War, and will be published to mark the end of the First World War.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-25408460152764364142018-05-07T11:37:18.197+01:002018-05-07T11:37:18.197+01:00Bob,
