Hi Evan,
I always include it when I submit. However, since I have been having so many
problems submitting, I tried taking it away...it did not work. I will continue
including it as it is found within the book and on Amazon.com

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.
