I myself did the same sort of thing. I was out of work at the time and wrote a novel as something to keep the mind working and active. I allowed a few people to read it and as I had some positive feelback I decided to self-publish. I used a site called [https://www.lulu.com/](https://www.lulu.com/) as my portal, and found them to be simple and easy to use.

Ok now I have not sold a lot of copies, yet, but that is mainly down to not marketing it as I did not have a lot of money at the time. I would not use Amazon for many reasons, although mainly down to their treatment of staff and 3rd party sellers, but thats my decision.

I would look for somewhere that gives you good tools, links to sites such as Amazon and google books. Also finding out what the various costs, geogrphical areas they deliver too and various formats such as ebooks etc.
