That's OK. I don't give covers more than a passing glance anyway.

I enjoy Amazon kindle groups better than Goodreads. GR is popular but something is missing...

Most eBooks these days are Kindle or ePub. Given that Kindle eBooks get their own entry, that leaves ePub. So yes, ADE page numbers are correct especially if the eBook has DRM.

Not allowing for different ISBNs is a problem, because there can be content changes between different ISBNs of what is ostensible the same title by the same author.

I don't understand. What they don't allow is the SAME ISBN for two editions, not differents ISBN for a title.

You're showing you're not a software developer. There's a very technical reason (which doesn't mean that is a good design). ISBN is a primary key in the table, so it cannot be duplicated.

Some Stupid Romance, published by Harlequin, will have a different ISBN. Some Stupid Romance, Second Edition, published by Harlequin, will have yet another ISBN. Back when I thought GoodReads might be useful to me, If the ISBN for Some Stupid Romance was from Harlequin, they wouldn't let one add the ISBN from Mills & Boone. Likewise, if I had Some Stupid Romance, Second Edition, one couldn't add the ISBN for that edition. |
