Book needs to be merged

[L.K.]

Good morning. I see there are two listings for one book. The links are:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
and
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

I don't know how to merge them, or I would. Thank you in advance for any help with this.

One of them has an ASIN. Since it might be a Kindle edition, I just combined them for now. If you know for sure there is only one*, let me know and I will merge the listings.

*By "only one" I mean only one ebook version. If there is a kindle version and another ebook format they both stay.

There is only one version. Thank you! I suspect this happened because I started the page before the bots picked up the book.

While I realize this is true from your perspective, it's actually incorrect. There is a Kindle edition (as sold on Amazon), and a B&N edition (as sold for the Nook). Both need to stay for users to be able to find them in both those sites.

The first one has an ASIN and is marked as a kindle version. The other has an ISBN13 starting with 294, which usually indicates it is a BN nook book. These would be different formats. Since it is available for Kindle and for the BN nook (I checked), then they both should stay. Users with a nook don't want to add the Kindle version to their shelves and vice versa. :)

That doesn't make any sense. Then you'd end up with split listings and split up reviews for every iteration of an ebook - one for Kindle, one for Nook, one for Sony reader, one for Kobo reader, one for who-knows-who will come up with another reader.

Only if each site uses a unique identifier. Amazon and B&N (Nook) both do.

I think I understand what you're saying - it will be listed in the "other versions" section. I'm looking at it with my author eyes.

Thank you for the info.
