How to convert isbn 13 to isbn 10?

What is the difference between ISBN-10 and ISBN-13?

  • Why is it necessary to have two different ISBN numbers for the same book, or do they both refer to the same book?

  • Answer:

    Both 10 and 13 are based on the same ISBN number. ISBN-13 is based on ISBN-10, has prefix 978 and recalculated check digit. The reason for it is that ISBN agency is running out of numbers and is going to introduce new 979 prefixes in a year or so. Both ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 are the same ISBN number just in two different forms. You can generate an ISBN-13 + the barcode that goes with it using this site: http://www.barcoderobot.com/isbn-13.html Just enter 978 + your old ISBN-10 - the new check digit will be calculated automatically and you will get the barcode image.
