[QUOTE="Arnix, post: 1119242, member: 5521"] Been a while since I've posted on the boards, so forgive me if I'm a little out of touch. Been slaving over work, school, and trying to put out the best pdf product I can hammer out. Now to the meat of my reply. Actually, I think that the ISBN numbers are a bit cheaper than that, maybe $30 each, but you have to buy them in some level of bulk. At least thats the numbers that I have read in a previous post. One approach to fixing this problem that I though about was to partner with another publisher and maybe splittng the cost of a bundle. That way you can get a bulk discount without having to order a lot of numbers. I plan on having a talk with my partners and my friends over as 12toMidnight and maybe splitting a 10 pack or something. I can scrounge together the costs of a few ISBNs, but don't want to shell out the cash for 10 when we don't even have 10 books planned right now. Especially since we have already had to shell out all of the start up costs for pdf publishing. Amazing how fast software licenses add up. I do agree that the Kazaa issue really isn't that big. Very few of the people who pirate the pdf's would have bought them anyway. Cameron (Arnix) Guill Alea Publishing Group AleaPublishing.com [/QUOTE]
