Hi douglsmith, neilmarr stated that in message 3 that they brought multiple ISBNs for the different formats of ebook's title but now they only use one ISBN for the ebook version no matter how it's formatted, but have a different ISBN for the paper back version and another ISBN for the Hard cover version.

Once an ISBN is assigned and books are sold for that ISBN, it can't be reassigned. So I guess that is why they still have some of the ebooks with more than one ISBN.
