NEW ISBN SYSTEM
As of January 1, 2007, all book and book-related products must carry 13-digit ISBNs.

All 10-digit ISBNs in circulation will have the 3-digit EAN prefix "978" added (which currently represents the book industry). This 13-digit ISBN is already represented, and will be identical, to current EAN bar codes carrying ISBN with the "978" prefix.

Jason wants to know how this will affect the Amazon system. I suspect that they'll adjust their software to add a 978 prefix to current titles.
