- ISBNs are assigned by national bodies (usually national libraries, but in the USA there is no central national library) and for this to work we need the active buy-in from some national library who is willing to assign wikimedia the numbers for epubs based on articles. Note that ISBNs refer to particular editions, as soon as someone corrects a typo the ISBN no longer applies to item; in this sense, ISBNs are best thought of as print-run identifiers.
