If you go this route you are back to a long URL unless you shorten the link, which is a whole other topic. Last week I talked about setting up an Associates account so you could earn a commission if someone buys a product after you send them to Amazon. The format in this case is to ad ID instead of ISBN: Place your ISBN-13 number at the end the URL:, like this:īut what if you don't have an ISBN? Like Amazon and B&N, Apple assigns their own ID to every eBook and you'll find it in your iTunes connect account. If the individual wants to buy your book they will need to download and install iTunes if they don't already have it.

You cannot send someone a link to buy your book from the iTunes store but you can link them to what is called an iTunes Preview.

Replace the bolded ISBN-13 in the example below with your ISBN-13: 2940016166087 Barnes & Noble Print Booksī&N differs from Amazon in that they use the longer ISBN-13 rather than ISBN-10 for print books. Look up your book's BN ID and replace it in the bolded example below: Like Amazon's ASIN, B&N uses its own internal numbering system called a BN ID. Again, replace the bolded number with your ISBN-10 number. Example:Īmazon uses the ISBN-10 number for print books rather than the ASIN. Replace the number bolded here with your ASIN. You can use either of these for your Kindle eBook. Link (URL) examples for Amazon, Barnes & Noble Nook & print options, and Apple: Amazon Kindle eBooksĪmazon has a URL shortener you can use called.

If you don't have these written down you can find them on a book's detail page in each store where the book is being sold.

For Barnes & Noble Nook books you need your eBook's BN ID, or Barnes & Noble ID.

For Amazon Kindle books you need your eBook's ASIN, or Amazon Standard Identification Number.

Both the long (ISBN-13) and short (ISBN-10) ISBN*, assuming you have an ISBN.

Here is how to shorten the link for a more friendly-looking link to your eBook or book. Does your book have a URL? Of course it does and it doesn't have to be that long string of “stuff” you keep sending people when they want a link to your book.
