Read More »Overwhelming. That is the only way to describe the process of getting your first book as a self published author in the hands of paying readers. But just like ants devouring an entire cake over time, the best advice is to focus on one crumb at a time. The one crumb we will focus on in this article is KDP ISBN or Own ISBN. What is an ISBN? ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number. Think about the barcode on your favorite chocolate bar. Once the cashier scans it, the bar's name, weight, and price immediately appear on the cash register and receipt. The unique ISBN is a 13-digit number assigned to every published book and is an international identifier for books. Like the chocolate's barcode, it holds vital information about that product. This identifier includes the book title, language, edition, publisher, and technical aspects. Do all books require ISBNs? If you plan to sell your book, whether it's a fiction or nonfiction book, you need a unique ISBN. That being said, there are a few minor exceptions where you don't need one including if you're only planning to hand your book out to friends and family. In fact, even when/if you make major changes to your book (adding chapters, epilogues, etc.) , you'll need a new ISBN. To find out when you do and don't need a new one, check out our complete article here. Should I use my own ISBN or KDP ISBN? If you want to sell your paperback book or hardcover online either through Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) or another service, you require an ISBN. You can get your own or let KDP assign a free ISBN for your book. So, why would I even bother getting my ISBN for my paperback if KDP will give me one for free? Let's explore why. What are the advantages of getting your own ISBN? Firstly, you would have complete control over your book's metadata. This refers to the book description and its category that makes it easier for outside parties like book stores, to discover your book, is in your control. Secondly, you will be a publisher on record. Your ISBN will stay the same, even if you publish with multiple companies. This advantage ties back to the original question regarding KDP ISBN vs. Own ISBN. Lastly, you cannot use your free ISBN from KDP for publishing outside of Amazon and its expanded distributors. It's one of the biggest motivators for self-publishing authors to obtain their own ISBNs.

Read More »How do I purchase an ISBN? The place and the price of a book's ISBN differ from country to country. Let's compare Canada and the USA. For instance, you need to visit the Library and Archives Canada, where a new ISBN is issued for free. In the US, you buy them through Bowker at $125 per single ISBN. Bowker is the official ISBN agency for the United States and Australia. You could get a discount if you buy them in bulk, for instance, 10 ISBNS at once, but they remain somewhat pricey. Does KDP provide an ISBN? In the previous section, we investigated ISBNs for paperbacks and hardcovers. ISBNs for eBooks on KDP are a bit different. First, it is essential to remember that you can't use the ISBN from your paperback or hardcover for your eBook. If you already have your own ISBN for your eBook, you may use that. Alternatively, Amazon KDP will issue a 10-digit Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN) when publishing your eBook. Just like ISBN for paperbacks and hardcovers, ASIN is a unique number containing the necessary information about your Kindle eBook.
