Hello. I published my book on the kindle and I chose the KDP enrollment. My question is if I publish through Createspace, does that violate anything about it? I tried to read through the terms but it gets jumbled up sometimes. I just want to make sure that it's okay to publish through createspace also. Thanks!

KDP select (if you mean the one that prevents you from publishing anywhere else but Amazon for three months, doesn't prevent you from publishing with Createspace. Here's a copy paste from KDP select FAQ:
What does it mean to publish exclusively on Kindle?
When you choose KDP Select for a book, you're committing to make the digital format of that book available exclusively through KDP during the entirety of its enrollment in the program.
All content made exclusive to Amazon in KDP Select must remain for sale on our site only; it cannot be available for free or for purchase in digital format anywhere else, including publishing the content of your book on the web, including on your own website, blog, etc. However, you may choose to make up to 10% of your book available on other sites as a sample, as well as continue to distribute your book in physical format, or in any format other than digital. See the KDP Select Terms and Conditions for more information.
Hope this help. It comes from this webpage: https://kdp.amazon.com/help?topicId=A...
EDITED: I highlighted the important part in the message. You can clearly see that they mean the ebook format and none other.

Thank you for the info. It was exactly what I was looking for. :)
It is E-book only for Select. You can publish in print anywhere you choose.
