Do I need an ISBN to Sell my Indy-Pubbed Book?

For eBooks, the answer is nearly an unequivocal NO.  If you're going to be selling your eBook at Amazon, B&N, iBooks or KoboBooks, it's a definite no.  Given that that's the list of most self-publishing retail portals, that's pretty much the answer:  NO.  

But:  if you're publishing through an aggregator or distributor, like Smashwords or Draft2Digital, the answer is maybe--you need to ask them.  

If you are putting your book out in Print, yes, you will need an ISBN. You can acquire an ISBN, in the USA, by going to RR BOWKER. If you need more than 1 ISBN, the 10-pack, at $250, is your best bargain (10 ISBN's for $250, versus 1 ISBN for $125.00). Easy math, right? If you have print and digital, NO, you cannot reuse your print ISBN for your eBook. If you have a formerly-published print book, NO, you cannot reuse the ISBN for a new edition of the book, a new version of the book, or an eBook version of the book. If in doubt, read your retailer's FAQs.
