The X is part of the ISBN, something to do with the way the numbers in the
rest of the ISBN are added up to create the last number makes it an X in
some cases. I forget the details; but it is definitely part of the ISBN and
should be put in the field on the submission form if you are filling that
in. You'll get an error message if you don't because it will not be a valid
ISBN without the X.

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.
