My perception was that an ISBN number tends to separate the pros from the amateurs. On the other hand, I also learned that you have to buy a separate ISBN for each version of your epub, which could get kind of expensive.  |
You need an ISBN for paper books. As to ebooks, no.
Oh and if you use Createspace for your paper book, they provide the ISBN.
ISBNs don't say anything about pros or amateurs.
Now I could write you a short post on what makes you look like a pro.
