Drace (dracenines) | 7559 comments There are multiple merges to carry out on the novel Audition by Ryū Murakami.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8... - This is an invalid duplicate edition of the US ebook that was assigned a Goodreads-only ASIN. Needs to be merged with ISBN 9780393339109. (The format for the valid ebook edition is mistakenly listed as Kindle, but I'm going to ask other librarians to fix that in a cleanup thread.)

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... - Invalid duplicate of the US paperback, needs to be merged with ISBN 9780393338416.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... - Invalid duplicate of the UK paperback, needs to be merged with ISBN 9781408800720.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7... - I can find no evidence on any Amazon site, American or international, of this ASIN being used for a Kindle edition. Can't find anything on the Wayback Machine either. I believe that it should be merged with the US Kindle edition (ASIN B003R7L908), but I will leave that up to librarian discretion.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... - Invalid blank edition, can be merged with any ISBN I guess.

David Raz (davidraz) | 13127 comments Re ISBN 9780393339109/ASIN B0DWVBVPY9: I agree. The editing history reveals a mix-up in formats: the Kindle version with ISBN 9780393339109 is actually an ebook, like you said, while the ebook associated with the bot-generated ASIN B0DWVBVPY9 was originally a Kindle with no ASIN. However, Kindles with no ASIN are usually treated as ebook editions, so the merge is justified. Done.

Three editions to be merged with ISBN 9780393338416: Done.

Two editions to be merged with ISBN 9781408800720: Done

Kindle edition with ASIN B009AMJQUO: Wayback usually does not archive Amazon so not finding something on Wayback is irrelevant. It was added by amazon_catalog and set as a Kindle, so we have to assume it existed and cannot be merged.

Blank merged with default.

There was also a Portuguese edition that needed a merge which I did and an ISBN that needed moving, which I sent to support.
