Whelp, getting to the point of ordering a proof copy from Amazon KDP only took... three days longer than I expected it to. Holy shit I hate editing and proofreading. Gremlins must have been adding mistakes to my book ;_;
Lessons learned:
gutter margins are a thing and they're awesome
convert to pdf before uploading manuscript so KDP doesn't fuck up the page numbering / table of contents
librewriter has a bug with TOC not respecting margins if mirrored margins are used, so you have to update the TOC index with identical width margins on a non-mirrored page style, then switch to mirrored, and it will retain the width. Updating the index after that point will make it fuck up again
the royalty scheme on amazon sucks: they take their printing costs out of the author's royalties (at least for print)
all that remains on my to-do list is to finalize my epub and make a new RR ad with my new cover art.
Overall I started this process on Friday the 27th so anyone thinking of doing this should estimate at least a week's worth of effort, especially if you can't focus on it literally all day every day until it's done.
