Dilsia,
ISBNs are changing from 10 digits to 13 digits. 13 digit ISBNs won't be
required until next year, but many publishers have begun using it and
assigning both 10 and 13 digit ISBNs to their books.
Bookshare hasn't yet notified us that they can handle 13 digit ISBNs, so you
should continue to use the 10 digit ISBN until you hear differently.
HTH

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] ISBN numbers on newer books
Dear Booksharians:
I have a question about ISBN numbers, recently I've been observing that
the books have fronm two to several ISBN's numbers. For example The End A
Series of Unfortunate Events book 13 has four: two on trade binding and two
on library binding. I know that we can leave that field blank when we submit
but I am very curious, for what purpose are they?
I mean what is the difference between two trades or two libraries.
