...Should one bother with them?
I've heard conflicting reports from authors. Some say they rarely sell compared to the kindle format and are a waste of time. Others say that a paperback giveaway on Goodreads works wonders to increase exposure. Also, some believe that just offering a paperback can increase your kindle sales, since readers like to see a deal ($11 paperback vs. $2.99 kindle).
For those authors who have used Createspace and have paperbacks for sale, what are your thoughts?
