Hi Jamie,
If you get a book that was originally an Ebook, you will see it listed next to
the print ISBN. I noticed it in two of the books I have. I guess it is
something new.
What I was talking about was letters at the end of an ISBN. What I mean is
that there are nine numbers and then one letter...is this acceptable or would
it be better to just not use the ISBN for submission?

Maithe, I've seen books with an N at the end of the ISBN number. You only put
in the 10 or 13 digits so if the X makes longer than that, skip it. Also, ISBN
numbers are not required on submissions, but I think it makes it easier for the
validator if he or she has to look anything up or get a print copy of the book.
I've never purchased an e-book so I couldn't say about ISBN numbers on those.
I would presume they have them but since I don't have any e-books, I can't say
for sure. That wouldn't matter for Bookshare anyway, since books have to be
scanned to be allowed in Bookshare under the copyright exception, is my
understanding.
