There are two questions that I get asked about publishing my webcomic books on Amazon KDP.
1 - Can I Order A Print Copy Of My Own Book From Amazon KDP?
When I started printing on Amazon KDP I also had that question.
The reason I put the books together is I was just kind of doing it for myself.
I could make a paperback version of my webcomic books and then I and my family could get a copy. It didn't even occur to me that I could actually start selling the book in public.
I thought it was just print-on-demand and then maybe I could order one.
But when I print a book on Amazon KDP I can also get up to 999 copies and sell it on my own!
I was able to get my own copies from Amazon KDP sent to me.
As the author, I can get them at printing cost. So they're at a discounted price.
The option to order author copies is right in the KDP publishing setup.
The button is next to the book in KDP. 👇

2 - Can I Sell My Amazon KDP Author Copies?
What if I want to sell a bunch of my books locally or at events? Yes, I can.
Selling the author copies is the same as people buying them from Amazon and getting them printed. I paid for the printing cost to have them made.
I order a whole bundle of the author copies of my webcomic books for pop-up events and tabling at shows. I was able to buy these books get them delivered to my house and sell them at these shows.
