message 1: by Brendan (new) - added it

Brendan (brendansclark) | 1 comments This edition (9780385490818) is listed as a Kindle edition, but I assure you that it is a physical trade paperback. Please correct this so my bookseller friends don't accuse me of going to the dark side by using a puppy-killing satanic death-pad (aka Kindle). I have a reputation to uphold.

If the Kindle edition also uses the same ISBN, please explain to me how that can be so; I was under the impression that ebooks and physical books cannot share the same ISBN.

Thanks,

BC

☕ Lachgas ♿  (lachgas) | 9386 comments I reverted the change for several reasons:
- kindle have asin assigned (and if not because of a bug years ago not both ISBN)
- the edition entry itself says "Trade paperback"
- there was only the format changed a short while ago according to a log (by an author, not by the author of the book) without explanation
- couldn't find evidence on Worldcat or amazon itself that this ISBN is in any quirky way a kindle edition - all mention the paperback
