Much much more so. Amazon KDP for print is extremely simple with zero cost, and Lightning Source is also quite low cost and simple enough to figure out. They handle printing and distribution. You just need writing, design, manuscript assembly, marketing (Last one is hardest, as in all things) No fixed costs other than a nominal per book annual fee at lightning. Otherwise, you only pay print costs when a book is ordered so it is impossible to lose money.
