Oh that is easily done, cost wise. However my experience of CreateSpace is that their 'Minimum List Price' for paperbacks is comparable to that of a hardback.
So far I find that having the books in print adds credibility and that translates into sales of the ebook edition, but not necessarily the overpriced printed version.
Can I use the term Expert Amateur? No? Okay then I will speak with authority on the subject of being an amateur in his late fifties and my experience of ebook and print edition content.
I have used guides to military terminology and acronyms in my books, uploading them to CreateSpace for print and also ebook editions.
What looks fine in print did not, for me, work in ebook form as the guides became a jumbled nonsense. I had to take the ebook versions down and insert the guides as jpg's with a 400 DPI for clarity.
All part of the learning curve for an ageing head, but I hope I have spared someone the inconvenience of duplicating my error.
