ISBN going to 13 digits. Given how my book buying habits have changed, the real question is: by that time, will books still matter?

Reading the fine print, it looks like ISBN is effectively merging with EAN, the 13-digit code that subsumes UPC; the code space for ISBNs will only double.

And just who was the wizard who decided that the check digit for ISBN, if the MOD 11 = 10, should be X?
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
