ISBN for eBook that's already published

I had a lot of trouble with this very simple issue. Basically, I've published 3 books on here so far and I want to convert all of them to eBooks as week. Can I use the same ISBN that lulu gave me when I decided I was going to publish them in print? Or do I need to get a new one? I'm surprised I havent found any other questions on this forum like mine. Thank you very much! http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/michaelford Catch me trill @ www.hawtmelk.com

No, you have to have a unique ISBN for each format of a book, even if it is the same book.  You will have to get a new ISBN for you eBooks.

Re: ISBN for eBook that's already published

Hi Mickeyson,

Science#1 is correct. You will need a different isbn for each separate project. Although the books may have the exactly same content and title, they are each separate projects. The ISBN is liked to the actual project number and project type. An ebook is registered differently from a print book in the ISBN databases; same goes for hardback vs paperback and any other differences such as these. I hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

David K.
