Need an ISBN Number for my first ibook (epub)

I just finished my fixed layout book (epub) and its ready to go. I know I need to get an ISBN number before I can even submit the book to Apple to be aproved for the ibook store. But I am brand new to selling anything like this. So is there anyone out their who can tell me what the process is and if there are any tips you can give me?

Jake,
I can assure you that I don't, haven't and won't be working for epubbud. (You can see more about me and the book at carpeaudience.com) My first experience with epubbud was in purchasing an ISBN number last week that was accepted by Apple. Since it was formatted in iBook Author the only place that eBook appears is on Apple's bookstore (Per contract.)
Recognize that distributing through Apple carries a 30% "Commission" going to Apple on every sale. My take is that is a fair price for the store exposure, digital delivery, reporting and payment processing.
I found a free eBook from O'Reilly Media called "Publishing with iBooks Author" that answered some of my questions. It may still be free at oreilly.com. But your first step is to create an account and decide if you want to abide by the Apple contracts. That can be all done online.
Managing books looks pretty cool. There's a simple dashboard that allows you to control your pricing and distribution. And provides you with feedback during the acceptance process. You'll also need to get iTunes Producer and Application Loader for uploading your books to the Apple store.
All that said, I'm still brand new to the process. Having heard that it takes weeks to go through the acceptance process, I was delighted that it only took a weekend. Wow. Seeing the software and reporting options that are available for iTunes Connect was also exciting. (And an iPad app for iTunes Connect). Getting Promo Codes so I can get promotional copies out is cool too. So it really is with wide-eyed wonder that I am walking down this path.
PS: One more thing on ISBN numbers. It really feels like domain names. You can spend hundreds to register a domain or you can do it for under $10. I was willing to risk a low cost ISBN and it was accepted by Apple. If it proves problematic, I can change.
Good luck.

  • Hi I need a series number for iWork's.

    Hi
    I need a series number for iworks I try to save and print things out but it says i must have this number and it says it will be send by e-mail.

    iWork is a set of chargable softwares. If you have run out of the trail period, you should purchase a serial number. A good news is that you can now purchase it in the APP Store for Mac. It's much more convenient.
    But before you do that, remember to delete the trail version on you computer first.
    Good luck!

    There are several cities surrounding mine with local online number options
    but not Morehead, Kentucky. If it is possible, please add Morehead to your list
    and I will purchase an online number. Thank you for your attention.

    But couldn't figure out what to chose among 13 choices listed as New York City Zones 3 through 15.  Is there a difference in the Zones? I notice they all have the same area code - 347.
    There are some subtle differences, related to how local phone calls are billed for callers in New York City.  It would not affect how the Online Number works for you - you are not charged for incoming calls made to Skype's Online Numbers, when you answer those calls with Skype.  For those calling you, it can mean the difference between a free call to your Online Number and having to pay a small fee to call your number.  For someone calling from outside the New York City area, it probably doesn't matter which of those zones you use for your Online Number.
    I have not found a good concise online reference to those calling zone in the past.  I have found some rather cryptic material that shows which prefixes in each of the New York City area codes are in each of those zones.  The zones are defined by lists of prefixes within each of those area codes, and those lists can be substantial with the growth in mobile phones over the years.

  • HT4059 do i need an isbn number to upload book?

    do i need to have an isbn number before i upload a book to ibook store?

    I purchased my ePubBud ISBN on Thursday, published and fixed iBook Author eBook on Friday, went live on Monday. Search "Carpe Audience."
    I had some reservations about epubbud but found enough online to risk the five bucks. ISBN is another ICANN like standards body/regulatory monopoly. Seeing epubbud front end the volume discount and then pass on the savings is kinda cool. Low risk in exercise of "Publisher" (see quotes) rights. If your book is a real seller, and epubbud gets pesky, pull ISBN from epubbud and buy from Bowker.
    But, I have seen no evidence of epubbud being pesky. Face it, for self or small publishers, the iTunes Bookstore is a long shot investment. Reducing upfront costs is an imperative. Five vs. a hundred and twenty five could be a cost-of-entry showstopper. I look at it as a self solving problem. If sales justify a change, then you can afford to change it. Till then, save every dollar you can.
    Good luck. Please let me know.

  • My iPhone 5s will not power on and I need my serial number for support.

    I am attempting to get help through Apple Support- Chat, but I need my serial number.  It is not showing up in iTunes under the device preferences.  Any other ways to retrieve the serial number through iCloud?
    If anyone has any idea of what is going on with my phone, I would love some assistance.  I live 45 minutes from the nearest Apple Store.  Here's the situation:
    About 2 weeks ago, my phone started shutting itself off and restarting randomly.
    About a week and a half ago, I would randomly get a blue screen and then the phone would restart multiple times.
    About a week ago I turned off Touch ID in an effort to resolve the issue, after reading some fixes from this community.  That seemed to help.  I do have the animation turned off, so I had read that there may be an issue between the Touch ID and animation reduction.  If that had not helped, I was going to turn the animation back on.
    Last night my phone seemed fine.  I did hear it restart in the middle of the night once, but this morning it will not power on at all.
    I tried connecting it to my computer through iTunes, but iTunes does not see it and I cannot access the device information from it.
    My phone is less than a month old, and for the first two weeks it worked great.  I am taking it into the AT&T Store today where it was purchased, but I don't really have high hopes for a resolution.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Sorry AT&T store won't be much help.
    I suggest you make an appointment with the Genius bar and then go to the Apple store.

  • Need product key number for installed Robohelp HTML

    Hello,
    Can anyone tell me how to determine which product key number
    for Robohelp HTML X5 is used on a particular machine?
    We have two X5 licenses here, but I only want to upgrade one
    license on one machine. I do not know which product key number was
    used to install X5 on either machine.
    I'd like to maintain older projects using X5 and upgrade one
    license to develop new projects using Robohelp 8.
    From what I understand--and PLEASE correct me if I am
    wrong--I can run both versions on the same machine as long as I
    install in different folders.
    Deb

    I don't think there is any way of telling but suggest you
    phone the activation people. If anyone knows, they should.
    http://www.adobe.com/activation/phonenumbers.html
    You can install RH7 on a machine with X5 but you will have
    issues if you need to use RoboHelp for Word in X5. Importing Word
    docs and printed documentation will still be OK.
