Print-on-demand service CreateSpace has been owned by Amazon since 2005 and is now getting the axe. As authors begin having their accounts migrated to Amazon's replacement Kindle Direct Publishing service, many are complaining of less favorable terms, technical glitches with the website, and KDP's inability to print faithful copies of existing works. Some books have incurred severe formatting errors, and others can't be printed due to missing language support.

Well then, I guess no one has ever heard of it, or used it, and it is the Amazon, "Take away my 1984 from my Kindle" Amazon, so no one is surprised, either.

You may not have heard of it, but my electronics design was printed via them. Except for a slightly weakish cover, layout and text resolution are great.
Last page says "Made in the USA / Middletown, DE / 07 September 2015".
$1b Amazon big enough by now to fuck up a working service?
