Hi guys,
I can add a book with ISBN but that edition doesn't show up in my format stats.

So for example, I had a book listed in the format stat as "Paperback" but it was digital, I didn't see it in other editions so I added it with it's ISBN and when I went back it still wasn't there. This only seems to be happening with three of the books I'm trying to add.

Hello! That's because there were two book families for that book so the one you'd already had marked was different to the family your imported edition got added to. I've now consolidated the two families and so you'll be able to switch editions.

Which were the two other books that this happened to for you?

Hi Nadia,
Sorry for the delay, I teach so the past few weeks have been very busy ;-) Thanks for looking into this, oddly the book "The Postman Always Rings Twice" is there now, but listed as Paperback, not as Digital, which is where I got the ISBN.

The other book is Invincible, I added it but it doesn't want to go into the paperback option.

Hello! So it's because I consolidated the version of "The Postman Always Rings Twice" into the correct book family.

If it's now merely an issue of format, can you please select "Flag incorrect book information..." so that a librarian can correct the formats on different editions. Point out that you believe this ISBN to be for a digital format. The same can be done with Invincible.

If it's the case that the first ISBN you added is typically recognised as "paperback", then you might need to find or import another edition. Same with Invincible. However, first step is having a librarian investigate!
