Here is the B&N edition (= Nook): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...I used the cover from Amazon. We cannot use the information from B&N. The BN-number was provided by you, and therefore a acceptable source.
It is working like it shoud. When I am on the B&N edition with 2940150345218 and use the Online Stores dropdown link to B&N, I get the Nook page for your book.This is exactly why B&N edition need the 294-number (just like Amazon Kindle editions need the ASIN for the book seller links to work).
When I search on the B&N site, using the isbn 978-0-9908433-3-7 , there is no result.
The nook edition with the BNID works for me. Use the Buy link to BN for the edition belowhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
The neither the ISBN10 or ISBN 13 you provided does not exist at BN so those will not work.
Please stop changing ASIN to ISBN, the editions are set up correctly
On your homepage? Do you mean your profile page here on GR? I wouldn't know how that works. Did you try the link to the bookpage that Paula posted? The B&N link works for me too.
What edition are you using?The BN buy link will only work with ISBN/ BNID that is actually on BN.
If you go to the BN store and do a search entering the ISBN
ISBN-13: 978-0-9908433-3-7
ISBN-10: 0-9908433-3-5
The book is not found which means that BN do not stock the book under those id.s
If you do a search on the BNID 2940150345218, the book is found, in the same way if you select the BN buylink from this edition
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
The buy links only work if you have using them from the edition with the correct identifers.
I.e. if you use the BN buy link on an edition with an ASIN it will not work as BN do not sell Kindle books
You changed out an ASIN for an ISBN on a Kindle book - GR uses the ASIN not the ISBN on kindle editions
The ISBN associated with that edition does not exist in any book storeshttps://www.google.com/search?q=97809...
Generally doing a search on google will find all stores with that ISBN, there are non in the results list.
edit: That said it does attempt to find the book on amazon.
In addition, the buy links are customised by each user NOT be author or book

Is that the default edition? Strangely enough, Kobo found this edition with no problem, even though the end digits of the ISBN are different: https://store.kobobooks.com/nl-NL/ebo...
Anyway, I'm glad it's been solved now.
It will not be found on amazon using that edition, amazon does not use the BNID 294.n The only link that will work on that edition is the BN one. If you want to see the book on Amazon then you need to select on the editions that amazon stocks i.e. the Kindle editions not the Nook one
Each edition will work to specific booksellers unless the book seller lists the edition under a general ISBN.

This edition is found at Smashwords and Kobo because they use the ISBN 9780990843313 to identify the bookshttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
The edition you link to in msg 21 has not been changed. It was set up with the BNID on the 26th of June and there are no edits / changes to it in the change log
If you want to give someone the link to the amazon edition, the you need to use one of the urls I gave in msg 23.The buy links on GR are working they way they are designed to work on this site. Your books are set up correctly. There is nothing to fix, you need to decide what link in msg 23 above to use to point to amazon
yes that is it exactly.If BN and Amazon used the same identifier i.e. the same ISBN number it would work for both but they do not so you need to choose which one to use or have separate ones for each on your website which I notice is using the BN edition
Currently, the Nook edition is the default (the one that shows up on your author page and in searches). If you'd like to make another (f.e. Amazon-linked) edition the default, follow the procedure here: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...
Mod
If that's the cover you want, use the book ID (25798262) instead of the ISBN. Using the book ID should be one of the options when setting up (or editing) a giveaway.
as users want to shelve the cover of the copy they have.
Instead, we add an alternate-cover edition.
See http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...
and http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/85....
Alternate-cover editions added here:
Smashwords ebook https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Paperback https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Paperback https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Amazon ebook = Kindle, uses ASIN instead of isbn https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
For Barnes & Nobles ebooks (Nook edition) the BN-id number is used instead of isbn. Number starts with 294. Can you provide this number?
As the author, you have the ability to change which edition of the book is the default,
which will come up in searches by title and show on your author profile.
