kdp.amazon.com is your publishing home it’s where you handle your business and where you store your files
author.amazon.com is where you have your portfolio it’s where you have your author profile like this … https://www.amazon.com/author/nicholaslawsonhealthy
lulu.com is a competing platform to kdp.amazon.com https://www.lulu.com/shop/nicholas-lawson/the-written-work-of-nicholas-lawson/paperback/product-5272483.html?srsltid=AfmBOoqXCNuYkZsd8PUJ-7rYiFsasslD0iu9MNX0U_fTlQCoe7oQX3F7&page=1&pageSize=4 is my book for sale there … lulu.com has more publishing features and is more precise a publishing format but you have to use inDesign to get the job done or a competing piece of software with inDesign like https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/publisher/?srsltid=AfmBOoqWPTlKZ8kGqD2Fa_AXE1anPML3NwC9x0Ttz5KArH_WRicMIUb0 which i have never used but maybe easier and is cheaper and is old as a piece of software so i can’t deny it’s probably good and well thought out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG12eKmEOFI
docs.google.com is a publishing tool for kdp.com if you want it to be i don’t know if you can use it with lulu.com but you lay out your document in google and take into account the fact that you need page breaks ctrl – return to create space between chapters in the google doc your document is stored in the cloud and is well taken care of but you need a gmail address to use use which you have so you’re fine
the youtube.com video up there is a tutorial for inDesign which you would use for the detail oriented work you need to do to lay out your document for lulu.com kdp is less restrictive and more intuitive INTUITIVE but if you need a specific detail taken care of precisely in kdp.com you’re going to have some trouble
you need inDesign for Lulu.com or you can use Google Docs for kdp.com in short
