ebook/epub ISBN's

Post by FineWine »

:idea: Just a heads up for all you ebook/epub readers out there (iBooks, Kindle etc), when you are cataloguing your ebooks in Bookpedia, ebooks/epubs NOW HAVE THERE OWN ISBN NUMBER, which is different from the paperback/hardcover ISBN number AND of course there are different ISBN's in all formats for each language. (what a pain)

Example:
Tom Clancys' 'Against all Enemies'
Hardcover = ISBN13: 9780399157301
Paperback = ISBN13: 9780425246061
ebook = ISBN13: 9781101536872
Kindle = ASIN B004XJIWAE

Also, a different ISBN is required not only for EPUB but for MOBI, PDF, etc. Ebook publishing only sites like Smashwords also issue their own ISBN numbers.

I know this could be a "big pain in the proverbial" but for your accuracy this is important and if you are contributing to Doghouse we need accurate data there. I am having to redo my own ebook "Collection". Also make sure that in the "Format" section you chose 'epub or ebook or Kindle' and of course you do not need the "Dimensions" info ( :D )

Cheers :idea:
