Hi Mayrie!

I have also seen the letter N at the end.

Hi Maithe,

Yes, leave the letter, especially if it is the tenth digit. I have often seen X at the end of ISBN numbers. I think I just recently saw some other letter, but can't remember what it was.

Peace,
Mayrie

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.
