UPDATE: I got the 2nd book's proof delivered today, and while the paper does have some very mild wave/ripple to it, it's not as bad at all! Hopefully this won't be a problem in the future.

This is great news. I just finished my book and wanted to go hardcover but I read earlier this year that KDP only produced paperbacks. Personally, I dislike dust jackets and prefer glossy covers anyway so that's perfect for me. Thanks for letting us know about the new Hardback option at KDP and best of luck with your books!

Thanks for the review, Sydney. I'd also like to see them offer sewn binding.

First class review with LOTS of very useful info (especially the 'wraparound' factor).
Great job.

I was SO excited to see this as an option the other day and cannot wait to get my books in hardcover. The rippled pages are a bit rubbish but overall I think it looks quite good! In my wishlist would be sprayed edges on the pages!!! X

I made my first book April 11th, 2021 and for my next book I have absolutely got to make it in hardcover. This video was very helpful. Thanks!

[RealCoachLee]

Thanks for the review Sydney. I recently saw the hardcover and wanted to see an example and the quality level. Great video! I have decided to go that way instead of traditional publishers who are missing out on a fortune.

This is pretty useful as you get to see both what the hardback llos like and how it compares to the paperback, which is all I cared about when looking for a video like this.

[RoFerrelli]

I really love the light graphics on your chapters pages throughout the book. Nice touch!

Great review! Thanks for taking the time to do this! I'm excited to look into your novels.

Thank you very much for quickly uploading the video about the KDP hardcover review. Your description was very thorough and showing us the actual hardcover they created and comparing it with the paperback really helps me decide which one I should go with. The quality of the hardcover looks great but since it just came out, let's hope that all hardcover books are as good as yours. I once got a 1 star review from a customer for my paperback book and she said that the pages kept falling. I told the customer that it was the KDP factory that made the book and requested to remove the review but she kept the review. I contacted KDP and requested to remove it as it was not about the content of the book but the physical quality of the book. They responded and said there was nothing they could do:( Anyway, good luck on your book sales! I would also love to see more YouTube videos of yours. You explained very well.

Question: What kind of rights does one still hold after publishing to Kindle Direct? Would I loose any right to the content? And if not, would I loose rights with their exclusivity deal? And if so, how does that all differ in terms of physical print, verses eBook? --- I've tried looking into all this, but it's all difficult to understand if you haven't actually put anything on there...

[johnglynhughes]

Excellent review. Just what I needed, thank you!

[TimRG]

I keep forgetting that KDP was only Paper Back, well until now. Good to know when I have a book to publish. Side note, in the KDP Requirements I think your audio was slightly out of sync with the video. The rest of the video was fine. Great video. Keep it up.

[NabilTouchie]

Thanks for the info! really well presented!

[kaylenesealey]

Thanks for your review. Answered all my questions. Cheers from Australia.

How do you have so little subscribers 😭 this is such a high quality video! Manifesting at least 1K for u 😭 Im subscribed now

[MelindaMysticWitch]

Thank you for this Sydney! I was just as surprised when I found out there was a hardcover button next to the beta. It was such weird timing because they have sent an option of comments of what we would like to see added to KDP and I said to bring in hardcovers. I think they finally decided to do it and I'm SO GLAD they did!

Your books look so good! Great job girl. I've been working on bettering my covers over time and I sincerely appreciate your tips when creating the covers and interior. 👏🏻🤓

Wishing you much success in your writing. You're a great story teller!

Love from South Africa 🤎
