Michael Vorhis (mike_vorhis) | 2 comments Hi, the GR staff (Tricia) recommended I request help here. She combined my three editions so that the growing number of excellent reviews are shared among the three, but I'd like the Paperback to come up as the default, when the title is selected. Can that be configured?

Also the Barnes & Noble link is broken; B&N should ONLY be shown as a purchase option for the eBook (ePub) edition (not for the Kindle edition). And the currently broken B&N link should point to:

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/ARCH...

Thanks in advance for anything any librarian can do!

Vicky (librovert) | 2462 comments Like Kim said, the edition with the most reviews is the one that shows.

I fixed the B&N link. When B&N editions with BNID (13 digit numbers that start with 294 and are specific to B&N) import, they import with an erroneous "ISBN10" that messes up the searches.

B&N is not an option for the Kindle version for me, is it showing up for you?

Michael Vorhis (mike_vorhis) | 2 comments Sorry to hear the edition with the most reviews is the one which will show as default. "Combining" doesn't fully equalize the reviews it seems. I certainly hope they simply modify to allow the author to select the default; I'm a programmer and it would not be difficult. But thank you for the explanation Kim,

Vicky, this afternoon B&N was indeed showing up as a broken option when viewing the Kindle edition...but it seems not now. Your link fix must have helped that; thank you.
