I am trying to set up a paperback Giveaway, but keep getting the error message: ASIN Doesn't Exist. This is for ASIN B08PQ722J8 Title: Flame Series Complete Box Set. This ASIN is for the ebook edition. Please advise how I can finish setting this up.

Amazon "ebooks" are considered Kindle format and must be identified as such for the link to Amazon to work.I don't know if that is the problem here, but I have added Kindle as the format.
When asking for assistance, for accuracy and to expedite your request, please provide a link to the work in question.
For a paperback giveaway you would need an ISBN, not an ASIN.

If you have paperbacks to give away you will need to create a paperback edition on Goodreads. If you have publication information we can help you add the book.
Thank you Emily. Can you please clarify: does the paperback giveaway have to be linked to the paperback edition listing? I don't want to do that. I want it to be linked to the ebook. I will have a paperback edition, too, yes. What information do you need?
Just to clarify: Goodreads will not let you give away paperbacks through your Kindle listing. You can only give away Kindle editions through the Kindle listing. You have to have a paperback edition instead.
Do you have an ISBN, a publication date, or a cover? That's what is preferred.
ISBN: 978-1-7351509-6-3PUB DATE: JAN 1
COVER IS THE SAME TEMP COVER I'VE GOT ON THE EBOOK LISTING. It would be amazing if you could add this. Thank you.
Still confused though: You say, You can only give away Kindle editions through the Kindle listing. This is contrary to all the advice I've seen. Can you advise how this one is done, please: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
When people add it to their TBR will they be adding the ebook edition or the print? If the editions are combined, do reviews and numbers of TBRs get added to both editions? When they are emailed on launch day, will the link be to the ebook edition? Or are their buttons for both kindle and ebook editions?
Are you referring to Formula that you linked in message 8, or are you still referring to the Flame complete series box set? I'm confused. Which book does the ISBN go with? I didn't see a cover for the box set on your website.
The cover is still being completed. Formula was just an example of the kind of giveaway I would like to do; it is not connected to me in any way. The ISBN I provided, 978-1-7351509-6-3, is for a paperback edition of THE FLAME SERIES COMPLETE BOX SET, which I would like to run this giveaway for. This is a new release, so I wasn't wanting to do all of this yet (giveaway and launch are three weeks away). I just want to set up the giveaway. But I will rush it all if that's the only way.Can this giveaway be done with the info I have provided and can I link it to the kindle edition?
