message 1: by Leafwood (new)

Leafwood Publishers | 109 comments Hello! Several of our books have two Kindle editions with different publishers. I am wondering if it is possible to merge the two Kindle editions so our paperback books are linked with only one Kindle edition. There is also a book of ours that has two Kindle editions but one is linked to the paperback and the other Kindle edition is seen as standalone. Is there a way this can be fixed?

No, if the Kindle editions are valid, they can't be merged. They were issued individually and may have different covers as well. We combine books based on their content. If you link the books, we might be able to guide you better. It sounds like some editions need to be combined.

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7857 comments When you are ready to have those editions combined, post your request in the Book & Author Page Issues folder.

Scott | 8535 comments As mentioned in another post, if the book was never published but was assigned an ASIN or ISBN, you would have to contact support. Librarians can't delete these.

Bree T | 1 comments I have a new edition of a book listed on this site. The book has a different cover and ISBN number. I don't know how to add it on the site and my author's page.

Do you have an author page?
If not, claim the existing book as author then you will gain the ability to add your own books. If you don't want to do that you can submit a request at 'adding new books & editions'.
