I think libraries are quite capable of managing their meta-data and they are the kinds of organisations who need additional meta data defining the particular format of the book in question.

AFAIK In the library a book has the same ISBN because it is the same work, then it has additional data in their records stating if it's an ebook, book, pdf, whatever. If you get formats involved in ISBN for what is essentially the same book (in terms of words) it limits the numbers of ISBNs I guess!
