Unveiling improvements for seamless multi-format self-publishing

At ISBNdirect, we're passionate about helping authors and self-publishers expand their reach to readers who prefer different formats—whether it's the feel of a paperback, the convenience of an e-book, or the immersion of an audiobook.

To make this journey smoother, we're thrilled to introduce two improvements:

Clone Book

Say goodbye to manual work when expanding your book into new formats! With our "Clone Book" feature, you can now effortlessly duplicate an existing book to one of your available ISBNs, enabling you to offer it in various formats.

Here's how to do it: Login to our portal, head to the Books page, select one of your books, and click on the "Clone Book" button in the top right corner. A pop-up will appear, allowing you to choose the ISBN, target medium, and format. Once confirmed, we'll handle the rest—automatically registering your book with Bowker. 

Improved Books Page

We've revamped the Books page with your convenience in mind. Instead of displaying ISBNs, we now show the medium and format of your books. This simple yet effective change makes it easier to distinguish between the same book in various formats. We've designed these enhancements to streamline your self-publishing journey, ensuring it's efficient and user-friendly.

With these new features, we aim to simplify your self-publishing journey and offer greater flexibility to cater to your readers' format preferences, whether they prefer the feel of a physical book, the convenience of digital reading, or the immersive world of audiobooks. We look forward to how these additions enhance your self-publishing experience.
