Book Wholesale

Why Book Wholesalers Need Specialized Tools

Book wholesale is unique among Amazon business models:

Different identifiers

Books use ISBNs, not UPCs. Most wholesale tools don't support ISBN conversion.

Different economics

Lower per-unit profit, higher volume. You need to analyze thousands of titles to find winners.

Different sourcing

Publishers, library sales, textbook distributors—all provide ISBN-based lists.

Different competition

Amazon itself is a major book seller. Understanding when to compete matters.

Use Cases

Technical Details

ISBN Technical Details

ISBN-10 (Legacy Format)

The original 10-digit format, used for books published before January 2007.

  • Format: 10 characters (9 digits + check character)
  • Check character can be 0-9 or X
  • Example: 0-306-40615-2 or 0306406152

ISBN-13 (Current Format)

The current 13-digit format, required since January 2007. Compatible with EAN-13.

  • Format: 13 digits
  • Always starts with 978 or 979
  • Example: 978-0-306-40615-7 or 9780306406157

How ISBNs Map to ASINs

For books, Amazon typically uses one of two ASIN formats:

  • ISBN-10 as ASIN: Many older books use the ISBN-10 directly as the ASIN
  • Generated ASIN: Newer books or special editions get Amazon-generated ASINs

One title may have multiple ASINs: hardcover, paperback, ebook = different ASINs. Our converter returns the primary match, with options to see all format variations.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this really the only bulk ISBN converter?

A: For wholesale-focused tools, yes. Other single-lookup tools exist, but no other wholesale scanning platform offers bulk ISBN to ASIN conversion like RocketSource.

Q: Do you support both ISBN-10 and ISBN-13?

A: Yes. Upload either format (or mixed) and we'll handle the conversion. ISBN-10 was standard before 2007; ISBN-13 is current.

Q: What's the match rate for ISBNs?

A: Very high for books currently on Amazon. ISBNs are standardized identifiers, and Amazon's book catalog is comprehensive. Match rates typically exceed 95% for in-print titles.

Q: Why might an ISBN not match?

A: Several reasons: book not listed on Amazon (academic, foreign language, very old), invalid ISBN (typo in source data), print-on-demand only (no active inventory listings), or regional edition not available in target marketplace.

Q: Does this work for textbook editions?

A: Yes. Each edition has a unique ISBN. Make sure you have the correct edition's ISBN—older editions have different ISBNs and often different values.

Q: Can I convert ASIN back to ISBN?

A: Yes. Reverse conversion (ASIN to ISBN) is included with the same 50,000/week limit.

Q: Do audiobooks work?

A: Amazon audiobooks (Audible) use different identifiers. The ISBN converter works for physical books and some ebooks with assigned ISBNs.

Q: How many ISBNs can I convert at once?

A: Up to 50,000 per week with a free account. Our paid plans offer higher limits for high-volume book sellers.
