		<description><![CDATA[On her blog, Cabin Goddess, Kriss Morton writes an irreverent explanation of why ISBNs are important for self-publishing writers to have on their books. She notes that Smashwords will provide ISBNs for free as part of its Premium Catalog program, but that lists Smashwords as the publisher rather than you. If you head on over [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Bookseller reports that a Nielsen Book study shows that the number of new books being published every year is steadily rising, due largely to the influence of digital and print-on-demand publishing. Of course, this figure comes from the ISBNs that Nielsen issues; if the number of books published without ISBNs (offered for sale directly [...]]]></description>

Much of the debate about ISBNs and e-books stems from the use of the word “format.” The question being, when is an [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s not a subject I know much about, but LJNDawson.com has an interesting article. On the whole she seems to be in favor of them. Her article covers the following myyths: ISBNs are expensive [...]]]></description>

Jon Noring has suggested using EAN-13 codes for e-books without ISBNs: they're permanent, globally unique, retailer friendly, and won't inadvertently duplicate an ISBN.
