But some say an ISBN # is not required for an Amazon Kindle book, so the ASIN will often be 'A' and the ISBN #.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-15608630022474477612012-02-14T14:30:05.905-08:002012-02-14T14:30:05.905-08:00Libby,

There is an indicator on the product page that gives an ASIN number of the print book it would be matching. I'll go back and look at this later. <br /><br /> VERY few of my Kindle books have page numbers at all because they don't put them on unless they match those in a specific print book version that is out there (many print books have several editions).<br /><br /> Let me know a title you have that has them and also what print book(s) you're ocmparing with.<br /><br /> Thanks for the help.<br /><br /> - AndrysAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-88107455596852493112012-02-14T10:19:31.091-08:002012-02-14T10:19:31.091-08:00It's so funny that they say the pages correspo...It's so funny that they say the pages correspond to the printed books because I am doing a book study with other women and the pages are NOT corresponding so I called Amazon and they said that the pages are only for finding my place in the book and because of font etc that they don't correspond! I see that it is all over their descriptions that they are supposed to match up. I tried the "look inside" feature of the printed book from their site and looked at the same page on the Android app and they were different by like 10 pages. I hope they can fix it.Stylib38https://www.blogger.com/profile/10497509506087675066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-2724449387738298542012-02-12T01:33:16.698-08:002012-02-12T01:33:16.698-08:00KH,
