Someone asked: “I’m about to publish on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing … should I just use the free ISBN, or pay for one?” It’s a good question, and one that has real financial considerations, as ISBNs registered with the “official” U.S. ISBN registry are very expensive (see “Bowker ripoff: A 12,500% ISBN markup for new authors[1]“). On the other hand, using Amazon’s free ISBNs come with a cost, too. Here’s my take on how to navigate this question.
First, KDP ebooks[2] (Kindle editions) don’t require ISBNs. Amazon will assign its own numbering system known as an ASIN to the ebook.
But if you are using KDP to print paperback books, you will need an ISBN. As a publisher with long experience dealing with Amazon and Bowker (the U.S. ISBN registration agency) I would say use the free one Amazon provides only if you anticipate this being a one-off book with low sales. This is what happen...
