In July 2010, Amazon.com announced that its ebook sales outnumbered sales of traditional hardback books - selling 143 ebooks for every 100 hardback books, and has done so for three months.
Ebooks are certainly taking the world by storm, but navigating the various platforms can be tricky for readers and publishers alike.
Did you know that publishers assign a unique International Standard Book Number (ISBN) to each publication? Well, publishers not only have to assign an ISBN to each ebook they publish, but also have to assign an ISBN for each version of the ebook created for every different ebook reader (or device) they want the book to be available on!
That's a lot of numbers!
