I've been trying to work this out on my own but have had to admit defeat and am hoping others can help.
The book 1Q84 has been available in non-English editions for quite some time, and was published in several countries as three separate volumes. Tomorrow, October 25, 2011, it comes out in the US in English in a single volume. The hardcover of that release is listed here on GoodReads, but the Kindle version (which I pre-ordered and therefore want to add to my shelves) is confused. The Kindle *sample* is listed, but of course that's not at all the same thing and has a different ASIN.
When I went to add the Kindle version I was alerted that the ASIN is already in the system here, so I did a search for that ASIN and found this: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10... It *is* listed as the Kindle version, but it has the wrong release date & page count, the synopsis is in German even though the ASIN is for the English Kindle version, the title is listed as "1Q84 #1" even though the ASIN is for the Kindle version that contains all three volumes, not just the first volume, and this edition is not connected to the other editions of the complete 1Q84, it's connected to the other editions that are the first volume only.
I think that what is needed is for the Kindle version, ASIN B004LROUW2, to be disconnected from the editions it's been combined with (can that be done?) and to be combined with the hardcover of this edition: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10...
I hope I've been clear, and thanks in advance for any help!
