♥Tricia♥ (siddie) | 12 comments Ok so I searched and couldnt find the digital version of the book I am reading (I have the digital version with me atm and am reading it).

I want to add it but want to make sure I do it correctly.. as I see posts all the time about combining books people have added.

So do I create a seperate instance of this book? And then combine with the others?

The page numbers and isbn are totally different then the ones listed in the system already.

Thanks!

To combine the books, go to the author's page then "combine editions" listed on the "books by " bar. In this case: http://www.goodreads.com/book/combine...

Check the boxes next to the books that are the same and choose "combine editions".

If you'd prefer to have someone else add the new edition, I'd be happy to help. Is the ISBN 9781101055021? That's what's on my eBook version (eReader format).

♥Tricia♥ (siddie) | 12 comments Sorry for the short replies my internet was giving me issues there for a while and I wanted to make sure you got the info lol

mlady_rebecca | 591 comments Done. Let me know if you have any additional information you'd like added to that particular edition. I used the hardcover's description.

Jessica | 963 comments Oh hello fellow Sony owner! I think the ISBNs that Sony uses apply to all versions of the ebooks (including Kindle editions, but Amazon uses ASINs). But if Rebecca has another one, I'm confused :P

It's terrible, but I just add the paper copy of the ebooks I'm reading (or Kindle if there is no other version). I guess I'm too lazy to add my own version, but if you can, that's awesome!

I do that too. I don't see why it's terrible though. I just find the edition with the cover that matches the one in my ebook, or if it has no cover, the one I like best.

mlady_rebecca | 591 comments It looks like the different versions all use different isbn numbers. Got this off of Fictionwise.

Microsoft Reader ISBN: 9781101053461
Mobipocket Reader ISBN: 9781101056585
eReader ISBN: 9781101055021

Personally, I tend to just grab the hardback or paperback version for most of my ebooks. In this case, I have both the hardcover and the ebook. It's a series I love discussing, so the search feature of the ebook is very helpful.
