Hannah | 80 comments Hello. Edition 1662938632 is in need of a cover. I searched for it in Worldcst. Here is the link. https://search.worldcat.org/title/138.... Here is the same edition on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Vintag...

Thanks for updating it. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Amazon sells only Kindle edition not standard ebook. The listing was previously for Kindle but has been changed to ebook by Goodreads staff, I don't know why they made the change so should not reverse it. You can contact staff at https://www.goodreads.com/about/conta...

Hannah | 80 comments Hi Martin.

I am just realizing this request was replied to by you. However, I don't understand the problem. I was originally told that WorldCat is the preferred source and Amazon a good second source. If I understand you correctly, WorldCat cannot actually be used. But what is the issue with the Amazon image? Also, what is the difference between ebook and Kindle? Aren't they both digital books?

Glad to follow up with the other contact you left me, but I don't really know what I'm asking them to do, because as mentioned, I'm confused about the problem. Thanks for your help.

Martin | 36185 comments WorldCat is an acceptable source for book data but not for book covers, I don't know the reason as these rules are set by staff not librarians.
On Goodreads a distinction is made between Kindle editions (available only on Amazon) and other ebooks available elsewhere. As Amazon only sells Kindle it cannot be used as a source for ebook.
I don't know why staff changed this listing from Kindle to ebook so suggest that you contact them.
