willaful If a book only has the Kindle edition listed, can we list the Smashwords edition? I don't think they have any distinguishing info like an ISBN, but I think it's valuable for people to know they exist, since Smashwords has all ebook formats, not just the Kindle format.

A general ebook can be added, certainly.


Experiment BL626 | 358 comments We kinda already do. They're just called "ebooks."

Heh. But most have ISBNs. It's fine to add such an edition even when there's no ISBN, though.

willaful Okay, could you have a look and see if I left anything important out? http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

Also, I put the book page on Smashwords for the URL -- is that okay, or a no-no because you can buy it there?

Looks fine.

It's the book excerpt, and they are the publisher, so I think that's ok.
