A little help requested re ebooks

[Andy]

I've been considering getting a Kindle and looking at some of the free books available. Between sources like Project Gutenburg(sp), feedbooks, Amazon and others, I'm really confused about when you would add a new edition. Here's a specific example:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/73...
They both look the same to me, but neither one is specifically Kindle format. Since they're probably all based on the same data, should they be merged into one edition, or should there be another one for the Kindle format? As always, thanks for your help. :-s

The two do appear to be the same book, tho it would take a super-librarian to merge them.

I would keep edition # 12327904 which links to the Feedbooks site for the book, where it's available in a number of formats, including .mobi for Kindle. However, even that wouldn't be strictly necessary because by clicking on "download ebook", GR gives you the Kindle edition as an option too.

So long story short, they could be merged and left as ebook format, but that is up to a super =)

Hi,
Earlier today I found what I believe to be an incorrect ebook listing, I separated it out with kindle edition (to then merge/delete)18989895 is the work it was separated into. I thought I had better recheck with the author just in case, though as of a few days ago this is the only official edition
Murderati Ink
August 2011 – Kindle ASIN: B005IX42X0

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...
The 5 eBooks listed on Zoë Sharp's website with the matching new covers (Killer Instinct, Riot Act, Hard Knocks, First Drop and Road Kill):
The author has the rights to these books and has published them under Murderati Ink. Books later in the series are available as epubs.

I found the same with http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...
so combined the two, then thought before merge/deleting I had better check with the librarians.

I am curious as to why this might have occurred (an ebook that isn't) - is it to do with the import feed?

Thanks!

The the ebook version does not exist - and I only see kindle and paper versions on her website and other places for some of the titles, it can go, it looks like it was rescued by a user who added the format ebook.

Killer instinct is shelved by one user who indicates Nook version which is classified as ebook. B&N do not have it for sale as an ebook

Maybe this user got it from an "alternate source"? Or shelved the wrong Killer instinct? There seems to be a few different books with that name.
