Kimberly Chapman | 10 comments Hi, I'm probably asking a total noob thing, but I promise I've read and searched and if my answer is out there, I'm missing it...

I have an indie ebook coming out in July. I have purchased my own ISBNs. I understand that I need a separate ISBN for each ebook format. So which of those do I use to list the book on Goodreads? Surely I'm not supposed to have a separate entry for each format?

I'll be listing it at Smashwords and Amazon. Do I just pick one and then list the alternate ISBNs in the description? I don't want to mess it up and make someone end up mad at me. :)

Lobstergirl For each separate ISBN, create a separate record.

Kimberly Chapman | 10 comments Doesn't that make for mangled review records? Or do they all get linked somehow?

Amara Tanith (aftanith) They'll get combined, which means linked as editions. (As a random example, here's a list of records that have been linked/"combined" together as editions of a single book.)
