Hi gang,

does anyone have any idea what an ISBN costs if a book is self-published?

Cheers,

K~

I use CreateSpace via Kindle KDP, the ISBN's are Free or you can use one that you have bought for £89. ISBN for Papaperbacks will not be the same as Kindle, unless you complete the Paperback first and then opt for KDP Publishing (which does it all for you, so you don't have go mess about lining everything up and figuring out the Table Of Contents).

Hope this has helped.

Thanks for all the useful info. Apparently we Brits pay about 30% more for one ISBN than our German counterparts. Yet another example of rip-off Britain. But then one company having a monopoly will always lead to that type of situation. Cheers, K~
