I'm just starting to research self-pub, and am looking at hardcopies. I went through the pricing page on createspace, and it gives me a (small) royalty for a selling price of $8.95 . But when I work through the pricing on lulu, it wants $12.05 from me to print the same book.
Now, there's a lot of sloppiness in the comparison, of course. For starters, one is quoting in US$, the other in Cdn$. But still, the createspace cost of printing must be somewhere around half of the lulu cost.
Am I missing something, or is this just a product of different business models? Or is there an "Oh, by the way..." in there somewhere?
