Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

I'm trying to do a giveaway but my ISBN is not recognized. Any suggestions? I suppose I could write another novel and get a new ISBN assigned, but that would take days.

That book has an ASIN, not an ISBN.

The book is listed here with an ASIN (as it is a kindle edition), maybe you should try to classify the reference as such.
BTW: aren't kindle editions also DRM protected so you cannot give away this kind of ebooks? I found this in the conditions: "Ebooks are not allowed. Every winner must receive a physical copy of the book."

The ASIN is for the ebook. The paperback has an ISBN. It is published by Createspace.

What is it?

THe ebook is not only available on Amazon, so I can give it away, as far as I know. But I'm trying to do a paperback giveaway. I didn't know I had to list it as a paperback here. I'll try that now, thanks.

That book is not listed at GR at all. Therefore, ISBN, author, publishing date, cover link (non-amazon, non-sellers), ISBN and all the other book information is required to create a book page first of all.

Still, ebooks are not allowed as giveaways anyway - DRM protection yes or no.

I know. I wasn't trying to do an ebook giveaway. I edited my book's details to include the ISBN and that will probably take care of it. Thank you.

You can't add the paperback ISBN to the ebook's record. Working on creating a separate edition now.

Ok, created a separate edition for the paperback with ISBN 9781470135300. You should be able to list it for giveaway now. I assumed the cover image was the same as the Kindle edition.

You might also want to claim your author page.

Yes, thank you!
