a Kindle edition is not the same as an ebook.

do you have a separate ebook published of this title?

I combined them. The ISBN, ebook looks like a valid edition, as does the Kindle with the ASIN.

An ebook is one that is not published by Amazon.

If your book is a Kindle edition, then it will use the ASIN, and the ISBN that Amazon assigned to it is not used on Goodreads.

If you only published on Amazon, then the ISBN edition is the same as the Kindle edition.

A Kindle format is different than an ebook, which is different yet again from a Nook format. Each have their own Identification system. Although you have an ISBN for your Kindle edition, Goodreads does not use it, and it does not make the "handshake" with Amazon. The two computer systems talk to each other in ASIN. :~}

I'm pretty sure I can delete it, but I will check and let you know.
