ISBNs are a legacy of the pbook era that is redundant in the ebook world because any ebookstore (or book management system) can just read the metadata inside the file itself to distinguish between titles and editions, as any Calibre user can attest to. Even in the tradpub pundit world, the primacy of metadata is fully established by now.
