Could you explain more about the ISBNs? I've been reading through Smashwords instructions and t&C's and thinking about posting an anthology and novel there.
If you register an ISBN is it just the ISBN authorities who would have your address - they aren't available to the public, surely?
For Canadians, you can open an account with the Gov, and they give you free ISBNs. It took about 5 days to get approved as a publisher. I had to declare an address and contact person. But other than that, you get an account and can register each book (or update) there to get a new number. Self-managed.
Any publisher giving out free ISBNs usually has exclusive rights to sell your book in their terms, from what I've read.
