Hmm. I didn't know that about the registration fee. *shaking head*

That's the #1 thing I didn't like about Lightning Source. It's set up so that it encourages you to become a small press publisher. Because you end up with either too few ISBNs... and have to spend more to get more... or you end up with SO many that you think, "I might as well do something with these to recoup my costs."

I don't want to become a small press publisher. And I found Lightning Source's customer service kind of annoying anyway. :P
