I have a lot of people who ask if my books are available to be listened to. Should I invest the time and money to make them into Audio books?

Hello, I have my book. It is ready to publish. I am working on my marketing plan. I have purchased my ISBNs. I go to get it registered on the Library of Congress. And I get to the part where it asks me to list the ISBNs for each format. However it tells me that my ISBN number format is incorrect. I have copied them directly from Bowker. But it will not accept them. I tried it repeatedly with and without dashes. It specified 13 digits. I counted the digits and it was correct. I navigated away from the page to look for a help of some sort. There is no help or tech support. And I lost all of my data. Anyone have any idea how to fill out this form correctly?

I am a retired and disabled Veteran. Lately I have written a few stories that focuses on soldiers dealing with PTSD. My question is how do I promote them without missing my target audience? To be clear they are regular stories that happen to have Vets doing Vet things.
