Now here's a tricky one?
If the book is made as ePub and will be converted to mobi the ISBN is different for each format. How would you handle that? Is there a way of giving the ePub version one ISBN and the mobi another in the meta data?

I'm stumped on this.

EDIT: If you think this question has a more appropriate area please advise. Thanks.
IMHO this area is OK, it only leans on the line with conversions

Starson's reply is your option
When the ISBN system was introduced. e-books were a dream (or nightmare )
1 ISBN per format eg HB,MMPB,Trade Paper
all 1's and 0's (bits look the same ), so the argument could be for either
