May I ask how many copies you've sold?

Not very many - total sales for all titles, less than 2500. I've probably given away about that many through Amazon promotions and through gifts to friends and family. I'm retired and writing stories is just a hobby.

Have you published any other way as well? Are you in any bookstores? Did you order hard copies for yourself directly from Amazon to have on hand? Do they hold any claim over your novel if you publish with them initially?

I've used KDP exclusively for several years, but early in my writing phase, I also published with Smashwords. I keep about ten hard copies of my books on hand to send or give to various people. Amazon has no claim over your books since you hold the copyrights.
