Note that I'm talking about *digital content* in commercial ebookstores, the subject of the italian regulation.

The ebookstores already need to manage the metadata and versioning for internal purposes and most of the big boys don't rely on ISBNs since they have their own internal systems for books, apps, music & video and, in Amazon's case, dry goods. If available they'll use them but they don't offer anything indispensable, which is why they can dispense with them.
