Hi All,
A month ago I removed my books from LuLu's global distribution. I plan on publishing them on KDP & wanted to avoid duplicates. My books are still available for sale on the LuLu storefront. Recently I checked Amazon to see that they are still selling. Is LuLu still printing these for Amazon & other retailers? Is there something else I must do to complete this process?
thank you,

Patience is about all you can do. |

Not a problem.
Being above the daisies is good in and of itself. |

Amazon will still show even unavailable books, for ever. Their reasoning is that they list if it's available via some other Amazon vender. Which is remarkable when a book is unavailable ... but they also say that someone may be selling a used one, or old stock. Not sure about stocks of POD books ...

Amazon began as a used book seller.
Used books remain whether still still printed or not.
I imagine they will remain listed whether a copy (new or used) is currently available or not. Someone, somewhere, has a copy forever.

No doubt. But via using POD it's often easy to know if any have even been sold or not!
