Question About Adding eBook Edition(s)

[H.R.]

Hello!

I recently added the paperback edition to Goodreads, and wanted to add the eBook as well, since I had a separate ASIN.

However, I double-checked the GooglePlay edition and see a THIRD number (another ISBN) so now it seems I need a THIRD listing for the same book? That doesn't sound right.

I don't necessarily want a listing on Goodreads for every single vendor, and I was under the impression there would be one identification number for the paperback, and one for the digital edition.

I'm a bit confused, and am looking for advice on a) whether there should be more than (2) ID numbers for this book - paperback and ebook, b) whether I should list the ebook at all since there seem to be multiple numbers assigned to it, and c) if I should, is it best to use the Amazon-listed ASIN?

Any point in the right direction would be amazing, thanks!

On Goodreads a Kindle Edition (sold only on Amazon and uses an ASIN) is considered a different edition to an ebook (sold elsewhere, uses an ISBN)
So you book would have 3 editions (on Goodreads) A Paperback with ISBN, A Kindle with ASIN & an e-book with ISBN
Hope this helps :)

@Zoey: Yes! This is exactly what I needed to know. Should there be three listings? I don't feel like I've ever seen more than two - print and digital - for a single title. Thank you so much for the info!

From a reader's perspective: that is important information if you have an ebook edition (as opposite to kindle).
As you can't read kindle files with an ebook reader and I own one I'd just turn away if I see no ebook edition but only kindle.

If I'd own a kindle I'd do it exact the same way if only ebook is listed.

Hi H.R. Yes, you're correct – there should then be three listings for your book. This isn't uncommon and many books released both in print and digital format will have these three different editions added to the site.

Thank you so much, Jaclyn!
