ISBN FAQ
What is an ISBN, and why do I need one?
ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number. It’s a 13-digit number that uniquely identifies your book. You must have ISBN for publishing your book, especially a print book. ISBN makes it easy to track your book, prevent duplicate book listing, sell books online on a retail website such as Amazon, get your book into the offline store, and much more.
If you plan to print your book and don’t sell, then you don’t need an ISBN. There are book Print-on-demand services such as IngramSpark that will help you print your book and deliver it to your address.
What is basic and custom ISBN?
Basic ISBNs are purchased from Bowker in bulk and resold at a low cost. For this reason, basic ISBN comes with our Imprint name. In other hand, custom ISBN are obtained individually without an Imprint name. You can use any imprint name with our custom ISBN.
How many ISBNs do I need?
You need an ISBN for each format of your book. If you are publishing your book as paperback and ebook, then you need two ISBNs.
Does FreeISBN offer free ISBNs?
Yes, FreeISBN.com also offer a paid version with extra feature and fast delivery. You can apply for free ISBN or paid ISBN from anywhere in the world. Our ISBNs are purchased from Bowker (a USA-based ISBN agency) at wholesale discount.
Why would I purchase an ISBN when I can get a free one?
Free ISBN comes with limitations. You can’t reuse ISBN outside of the platform that gave you free ISBN. It put a distribution limit on your books. And, your publisher imprint will not be associated with your book. For example, if you use Amazon KDP free ISBN then your Publisher name (imprint) will be “Independently published”.
Can I use my free ISBN on other platforms (KDP, Bookbaby, IngramSpark, etc.)?
It depends on the platform you got your ISBN from. In the case of Amazon KDP free ISBN, you can’t use the same ISBN outside of Amazon KDP. FreeISBN.com free ISBN can be used on multiple platforms.
What happens if I use a free ISBN now and later decide I want to own my own?
You can’t change the ISBN of your book once your book is published. You can delete (unpublish) an existing book and republish using a new ISBN. Republishing your book will create a new listing so it will be like you are starting from scratch.
