(For example, my print books have an ISBN, but my digital ones do not. I can purchase one for the digital, but need to purchase one for epub and one for mobi.)
Smashwords has a scheme whereby a ISBN (for epub) is thrown in (needed for Apple or Kobo).

And IIRC many publishers don't bother getting an ISBN for mobi since Amazon don't require it.

If you are a Canadian citizen, you can get your ISBNs for free at http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/c...i/index-e.html
