Here is a friendly reminder than you can publish your book on Amazon, Barnes and nobles, and Ingramsparks without having to buy a ISBN number. Each company provides their own free ISBN as an option.
But.
For example if you wanted to do Amazon's kdp program, you can not have your book on a digital ebook format anywhere else for sale during the 90 day period. If you just do the ebook kindle version without kdp unlimited then you can say go through Barnes and nobles for rook, and ebook through Ingramsparks.
You need 1 ISBN for each paperback and hardcover edition. All three of the companies provide isbns for you. But the benefit of going through a authorized provider for an ISBN, which in the USA the one one is Bowker, is that you can use that same number no matter who you publish for. Versus having different ISBN for Amazon books, Barnes and nobles books, Ingramsparks ECT.
Now, isbns do get cheaper when you buy in bulk through bowker so that is also an option to reduce their expensive cost. I think it's like 95 or 98 for one, and a significant discount when purchasing ten or more.
