Edwina Book Anaconda | 26797 comments Not sure if these need to be merged or not.
They both have the same publication date and are listed as ebooks,
but one has an ASIN and the other an ISBN.

Scott | 8696 comments The one with ASIN is Kindle, presumably.

Yes, I'm assuming it is.
What doesn't make sense is why an ebook has an ISBN instead of an ASIN, so it makes me think it is the same book. One entered correctly and one incorrectly.

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7859 comments ebooks sold on Amazon have an ASIN identifier. Those sold on other sites have an ISBN.

Yes, I understand that. I just thought that maybe someone might look through the book log to make sure that nothing had been entered incorrectly. I've seen posts by librarians that they have "reversed bad cover change" so I know that mistakes do happen.
