Hi All,
Can I use an ISBN that LuLu assigned to my ebook on the same ebook posted on a different digital platform, like Google Books or Kobo? Kobo has an option for a "Primary Print ISBN" & I'm wondering if I can place either the LuLu print version ISBN in that field, or the LuLu ebook version ISBN in the "eISBN" field.
thank you,

Kobo has an option for a "Primary Print ISBN" & I'm wondering if I can place either the LuLu print version ISBN in that field, or the LuLu ebook version ISBN in the "eISBN" field. thank you, The ISBN issued by Lulu Press belongs to Lulu Press [as in Lulu Press is listed as the publisher], so in short no, you can't reuse an [ebook or print] ISBN given to you by Lulu Press on a different digital platform unless you distribute your ebook to said platform through Lulu Press.
If you buy your own ISBNs, you can use them the way you're suggesting though you might need to communicate with the platform in question in order to do it.
For example a ISBN is registered to a publisher, then the author, then the book title, and the format, so for example the same book with different covers for different markets would require a different ISBN.

Not a problem.
Every day above the daisies is a great day.
