<div dir="ltr">It is my understanding that this is an Amazon API issue. It's not that they only look at the 10 digit it's that they look at the first 020 field only and so if the ISBN in that field isn't the one that matches the one they have on Amazon then it doesn't pull the data. <br>
<br>I may be wrong, but I've talked to several people who have researched this issues and I think this was what was discovered.<br clear="all"><br><br>---<br><br>Nicole C. Engard<br>Open Source Evangelist, LibLime<br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span>I understand in
order to get the Amazon content, we must use only 10-digit ISBNs in a bib
record. <span>Was it ever determined whether this is an
Amazon or a Koha problem? More and more books have only 13-digit numbers, what
are the implications of having only the 10-digit numbers in for future use of
perhaps another source of enhanced content?</span></span></font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span>When the 10-digit
ISBN won't work, or when there is only a 13-digit number, I check the item on
the Amazon website and often find an ISBN number listed that is nowhere on the
book, though the cover, book, edition. etc. is clearly the correct one. I'm
uncomfortable with using an ISBN in the record that doesn't correspond with
anything in the book, but I want the picture! Advice?</span></font></div>
