Elaine | 33 comments Murder at Kelleven Castle by Catherine Coles. Kindle Edition
This is the correct info: https://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/2...
This one has incorrect Kindle info, and I could not confirm the ISBN or ISBN13 numbers online. They might also be incorrect. https://www.goodreads.com/book/edit/2...
Thank you.

David Raz (davidraz) | 12754 comments I'm afraid I don't understand.
What do you mean by "incorrect Kindle info"? Most of the Kindle editions we have on GR do not lead to a Kindle page, yet they are considered perfectly valid.
As for ISBNs, almost all ISBNs on Kindles which were not released elsewhere as ebooks cannot be confirmed by any means. Even an owned edition will not always show the ISBN. These are also considered perfectly valid.

Removing an edition with a valid ISBN or ASIN is against GR policy and may lead to one's editing privileges being revoked.

Elaine | 33 comments When you search for ASIN B0DQQGFKZ4, you get no results. This is not due to an old edition (the book was first published March 28/2025). It is because Amazon deemed that edition faulty, and canceled it. I do not know the reason why. The author put up a new edition (ASIN B0F2T1FK2G). So the info that was put in the original entry in Goodreads has incorrect information... referring to an edition that never existed.

I'm not sure how you want to deal with this. I have been following this book for several months, as it is a new installment in a series I am reading, and I watched this happen. Perhaps the author should confirm this?

I do get a result.

David Raz (davidraz) | 12754 comments The author can contact support to request the removal of an edition. We aren’t supposed to remove an edition in this situation.
