Hi. I’m new to LULU but have published a book in e, paperback and hardback on Kindle last year. My question is around ISBN and book title.
On Kindle, the ebook did not need an ISBN but LULU insisted on one so I created a free one and added it to the copyright page in my book file before uploading. I then uploaded my file and book cover like I did in Kindle. When I got to the final review stage, two errors came up saying the book file title did not match the title I had input in the early stages of the process and that the ISBN also differed. I renamed the book file to match exactly and re uploaded but the error still persists. Plus, I have no idea why the ISBN error exists as I used the system generated ISBN.
Does anybody know how to get around these issues?

Usually an error on title mismatch would be a difference between the title you input and either the title as it appears on the cover or the title as it appears on the title page.
The ISBN error may be a discrepancy between the Lulu Press issued ISBN and the ISBN you listed in your book file.
If you can't locate what is causing the errors, put in a ticket at Lulu Press [don't forget to reply to their email so they know the issue isn't resolved].

May I ask why you have moved to Lulu from Kindle Direct Publishing? And do be careful if they are the same books, because Lulu will also place them on to Amazon, once you sort out the ISBN.
