ASIN of my new book is wrong

[Zoe]

Dear Librarian Team,

I have an issue with the ASIN of my new book being wrong on Goodreads.

This is the GR listing: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

This is the ebook on Amazon (just published): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D...

I didn't add the ASIN to the GR form when I was adding the book, so I have no idea what happened. Could you please help me sort this out so the ASINs match?

Also, I would be very grateful if you could add the book to this series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/4078...

Thank you so much for your help!
Best,
Zoe

With 'ebook' I presume you mean the digital Kindle edition with ASIN: B0DV7H8P8K (see also the linked Amazon-page).

This edition was auto-imported by the amazon_catalog bot earlier today;
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The booklisting you refer to in the post hereabove was created by yourself, but leaving all ID-fields blank, which results in the amazon bot automatically assigning a random ASIN that cannot be traced back anywhere in the Amazon catalog.
Neither librarians nor Goodreads employees can remove or change ASINs once having been assigned.

In the past, the ASIN field in the Goodreads database was only set for Kindle and Audible editions. Going forward, ASINs will also be assigned to physical books that appear in the database.

I combined both editions and added it to the series.

Next time please submit these kind of requests in the appropriate folder Book & Author Page Issues

Oh thank you!! I didn't know that I had to use that folder, I'll keep that in mind.

Only one issue - I'm seeing two versions still, and the reviews don't match (one has 1 3-star rating, the other 11 ratings with a 4.5 average).

Will those merge eventually?

Thanks! Zoe

I seem to have combined the paperback and your ebook edition, but not the Kindle edition.
All three combined now, and the ratings should now be correct.

Sorry for my oversight.

BTW: Combining is a functionality you can do yourself.

Oh fantastic, I can see them all now! <3

I've been on GR for YEARS, and I'm still learning... This is the first time I'm doing a live release (without a preorder), hence the confusion - usually I just put the preorder up, and then the Goodreads bots automatically add the book from Amazon, but this time around, I was impatient and added it myself and created this mess.

Anyway, thank you so much, I really appreciate your help.
Have a lovely day!
Zoe

You're welcome, Zoe!
Success with your new release ;)
