Have you self-published a book at Amazon's CreateSpace.com?

I'm still working on publishing my first book and Amazon's CreateSpace.com is a very convenient solution. Has anybody here used that service? What's your experience? How long did it take you to publish your first book?

It's basically a do-it-yourself service where CreateSpace can pay for the cost of the ISBN. However, the book is sold only at Amazon if you didn't pay for the ISBN registration. Of course, I thought that's a good deal since you want to sell at Amazon.com anyway. If I remember right, you will be submitting an electronic copy of your book. It's most probably a PDF. There is no cost to you, but CreateSpace will get a big chunk of the earnings. I think the biggest cost in this "free" service is the cost of ISBN registration. And that largely determines your earnings.

I am also thinking of using either Creatspace or Lulu if I can't find a publisher. Since you posted this, I see you haven't gotten a lot of response. Can you tell me what's happened since this post? Did you use Creatspace or Lulu? What happened?
