I've used Lulu to self-publish Dereliction of Duty and they issued me with an ISBN and will be placing my book in Amazon within a week. However, after doing a little research (hindsight's a great thing, unfortunately) I've discovered a cheaper and far more efficient company called Createspace, which are an offshoot of Amazon.
If I were to delete my book from Lulu and post the same version, with the same cover and name but not the same ISBN, there would be legal issues, right? First-rights claims from Lulu and such.
However, I've heard that if I change the name, cover art, and make alterations to the novel, I should be okay. Any truth to this? The reason I'm asking is that I want to delete it from Lulu and use Createspace to publish the next batch which I need to order. I'm thinking that mightn't be the wisest move, and I'm looking for any pitfalls that may come about from it.
Thanks for any advice.
