I need an ISBN for my first book which is widely usable, like Amazon book sales and eBook sales. And I have plans for other books to come out. So I intend to become a publisher of sorts.<br />
<br />
But, in all seriousness, I know the first version I self-publish wold be nowhere near the caliber of what'd be needed for large roll-out. So, the $59 option is probably plenty for me.<br />
<br />
But...<br />
<br />
I miss out on CreateSpace.<br />
<br />
I have no idea what that is, but I do not like to launch something and immediately run into a wall on new forms of distribution. <br />
<br />
So that makes me think about going with the Publisher Package.<br />
<br />
Do I lose anything by using Publisher Services for $129? I have not read all this links and really do not have time to. I presume there's a free way to get similar services but I really like having things managed for me.<br />
<br />
Comments are welcome.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Getting an ISBN number for my book

A word processor is an electronic device or computer software application that performs the task of composition, editing, formatting, and sometimes printing of documents. Most modern word processors use a graphical user interface, and most are powerful systems consisting of one or more programs that can produce any arbitrary combination of images, graphics and text, the latter handled with type-setting capability. Typical features of a modern word processor include font application, spell checking, grammar checking, a built-in thesaurus, automatic text correction, Web integration, and HTML exporting, among others.

Word Processors

Office Productivity refers both to the act of being productive and efficient in an office or professional environment, as well as the software applications used to "produce" information. This includes the development of professional skills, creating work processes, and almost any program used to create or modify a document, image, audio or video clip. However, business application suites such as Microsoft Office, which include word processing, spreadsheet and presentation programs, are typically called productivity software, as contrasted with a "utility program," such as a file manager, which is used to organize files and folders on the computer. Many office- and business-oriented groups of programs are organized into suites.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
