Changing Book Publishers

Gerlyn · 02-21-2013, 09:12 AM

I need to change book publishers as my current one cannot offer my books in iTunes in a couple countries I need. (my books are digital only - epubs) Since I already have ISBN numbers assigned to them with this publisher is there a proper procedure to remove/relist them somewhere else? Is it acceptable to assign new ISBN numbers? Any guidance would be helpful.

My understanding is that an ISBN is publisher specific...that's how the money is tracked. I think you need to get a new one issued for a new publisher.
