In case you haven't heard, Amazon is now offering hardcovers for indie-published
books. Now Amazon isn't the first to market (Lightning Source and IngramSpark have
offered it for several years), but since Amazon is the biggest printer of indie
work, it's a big deal.
You can read the FAQ for yourself
here.
But if you don't have time, here's the tl;dr version:
Indie publishers will not be getting a dust jacket like traditionally
published hardcover books. Amazon is offering a "case laminate" cover. That means
the artwork will be printed directly on the bookcover. If you're unfamiliar with
what that looks like, check out IngramSpark's
video
on their jacketed case laminate offering, something Amazon isn't offering.
