Kristen Casey | 51 comments Hi there - my book Finding Home is listed twice on Goodreads (as a Kindle edition and a paperback edition). The paperback edition needs two fixes:
1) Add characters Morgan Flynn and Owen Hargreave
2) Add this book to my series Second Chances (it is book one)

Is there a way to ensure that the Kindle edition and the paperback are linked, so that they don't appear as two different books?
Thanks!
Kristen Casey

Alex | 2736 comments I have combined the editions, which automatically resolved the other issues.

I have also changed the nook edition to a general ebook, as nook editions should have the BNID, while this edition had the ISBN.

Kristen Casey | 51 comments thanks much!

Kristen Casey | 51 comments I guess my only outstanding question is whether it is common practice to list the Kindle version twice - once with its ISBN, and once with its ASIN? Seems duplicative.

Alex | 2736 comments Is the edition not available as an ebook outside of amazon?

ETA: I've changed that extra Kindle edition's format to ebook here's the ISBN: 9780998391410

Kristen Casey | 51 comments Maybe this will help unravel the 4 available editions/versions! :)

The epub (ie Nook etc ebook) ISBN: 978-0-9983914-0-3
The mobi version (ie Kindle ebook) ISBN: 978-0-9983914-1-0
Paperback 1 (sells on Amazon) ISBN: 978-0-9983914-2-7
Paperback 2 (sells everywhere else) ISBN: 978-0-9983914-3-4

Does that help? Really appreciate your assistance!!

Sandra | 31515 comments Goodreads doesn't use an ISBN for kindle editions, we use ASIN. The rest appear fine.

Should I merge the two, or just leave them as is, do you think?

Kristen, was the mobi version sold anywhere other than Amazon?


message 10: by Kristen (new)

Kristen Casey | 51 comments Sorry for the delay.
No, the mobi version is only sold on Amazon. If Goodreads doesn't use an ISBN for Kindle editions, only the ASIN, it seems like maybe those two files need to be merged?
Thanks everyone!

Alex | 2736 comments I have separated the two editions and have set the ISBN one to be merged. There is some backlog with the deletion queue at the moment, so it may be a few days before this has gone through. In the meantime those editions will have to remain separate. When all is completed, I will post here again to let you know.
