Add buy links to book, please

[Magda]

Hi all:

Can you add buy links to Barnes & Noble, Apple & Kobo for Storm Conquered (ASIN B00Q0KG49K). Here are the links:

B&N: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/storm...

Apple: https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/stor...

Kobo: http://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/eboo...

Thanks!

Hi Magda,

The buy links are already there. The problem is that they are edition-specific and use a book's ISBN or ASIN to search the database (for the most part). In this case, ASIN B00Q0KG49K refers to the kindle edition, and since Amazon is the only retailer that sells kindle editions, the get-a-copy buttons won't work for any other retailer on this edition page.

Instead, we need to add another edition that those retailers DO sell. B&N uses a proprietary ISBN-like system with BNIDs that start with 294. I can't use data from booksellers other than Amazon, but since you provided a link to the B&N site for your book AND that link includes the BNID in it, I can add the number to the B&N-specific ebook edition here:

I assume it has the same cover as your Amazon kindle edition and took the cover from there. Now users who shelve that edition will have the barnes&noble buy link work, but only on that edition because only B&N sells an ebook edition with that BNID.

As for Apple and kobo, they use a traditional ISBN13, a number that starts with 978... and is 13 digits long. If you provide that, I can make a third ebook edition with that number.

It may seem complicated, but Goodreads users are actually very good at navigating the system, shelving the right edition, and figuring out how to get to the buy page on their favorite bookseller's website. However, as the primary author, you DO have the ability to set the default edition (the one that appears on your author page and in search results).

To set the default edition, follow the instructions here:
