Is this really what you meant to say... or did you mean to say:

"The idea of a single ISBN for each format of a given eBook is a bad idea."

???

I think 1 ISBN for a book title is plenty fine. What is the different what digital format it is in. I never understood separate ISBN for Hardbook vs Paperback Vs Trade either. It just seems silly and a way for whom ever hands out the ISBNs to make money.

Sure, each edition can be a different ISBN, but if the content is the same, what difference does it make what the media format it is delivered in?
