Not sure what your plan is, but in case you didn't know, you can use the same ISBN for both Ingram and CS. You just can't use a CS ISBN at Ingram (or anywhere else). Also don't enroll your CS version in Expanded Distribution or Ingram will tell you it's already in use.

Hope that helps!

Rue, do you know if it's possible to use Createspace's expanded distribution at first, then take it out of there and use Ingram for expanded distribution instead? With the same ISBN?

I don't unfortunately. :/

Yeah, I did know that, but I used a free Createspace ISBN when I first published my paperback last year. Now I want to use one from my block of ISBNs instead.

Okay, cool. I know some people were saying you should use two, but I don't quite understand why that would be beneficial.

Hope that helps!

Yes, you can pull your book from CS's Expanded Distribution any time. What I'm not sure about is if I/S will then accept that ISBN. Some authors were having trouble with that. I haven't tried it myself and don't know anyone who successfully has.
