Description

What it fixes

  • A free ISBN from KDP, IngramSpark or Draft2Digital, or your own – and why a free one stays with the service that issued it.
  • Separate identifiers for paperback and hardcover. What an imprint controls.
  • Publishing through more than one service: which ISBN to use, and what "vendor of record" means.
  • Why the ISBN agency record, cover, copyright page and every listing must agree.
  • When a change requires a new edition rather than an ordinary update.

Choose the correct ISBN route, imprint and edition setup for each format and each service you use, and identify what can still be corrected after publication.
