'''Kindle Direct Publishing''' (KDP) is an a print-on-demand platform for self-publisherspublishing authors, formerly named '''CreateSpace'''. It is driven by Amazon, Inc.
Many authors use self-publishing platforms today, which doesn't basically mean their publications are not as good as those published by a publishing company.
== Seriousness ==
The Wikipedia e.g. doesn't like references to self-publishing platforms, but IntactiWiki uses these self-publishing platform references, too. The reason is that many publications on the topics of [[genital mutilation]] on minors will never find a publisher company just because of the topic. Some of them may fear the [[anti-Semitism club]], others may just not want to spread the word about this issue, especially in the [[USA]]. While it is quite normal that authors may have to spend years for finding a publisher, protecting children from harm has no years to wait. Therefore, more and more intactivism authors chose self-publishing platforms.
The readers always have to judge themselves whether information given in publications are serious or not. Chances are that publishing companies accept less unserious content than self-publishing platforms which also do some kind of content control. But there's no guarantee that company-published books are even more serious or reviewed than self-published works. Judge yourself, please.
