Still, though I would expect that many users do not have information to contribute, I am surprised that no one showed the lest interest in what I consider a rather important issue about e-books identification. Note: I corrected an unfortunate metalinguistic error, which caused part of the text to be taken as a HTML tag.

I also know that the definition of "book" may or may not include a variety of things, such as edition.

With a pair, so that I would not beĬonstrained to any specific identification system, which is necessary Ideally, I would like to use only one identification for each book, It also seems that none of these system covers all books. Not to mention the ISBN standard numbers, which many do not use. I noticed that many site have each their own identification system, Has its own (weird?) way of using the search information. That is often tedious, possibly difficult since each search engines

I would like to add to my ebooks some reference metadata so as to beĪble to easily find information on the web, without using a search
