Amazon recently made it easy to create paperback books through it's Kindle Direct Publishing portal. I'm testing it out with my first novel,
Noah's Custodian. It wasn't too arduous of a process, though I learned quickly to reformat the text to fit the book size (6x9). I also had to create a real book cover, but it took under an hour to create using what I already had.

So, within the next day or two, my book will enter the physical world and can be put on a bookshelf! I'll be proud to hand my parents a copy, and I know several folks that read only physical books that wanted to see it.
The nice thing is, it's print on demand, so I don't pay anything up front. They take the printing cost out of the sale. So while you can get a free electronic copy at Smashwords or a 99 cent ebook on Amazon, this one will cost $8.99. Excited to see how it turns out!
