Switching over to ISBN-13

Isbn.nu was abruptly dragged in 2007 when several bookstores that I work with to retrieve price information suddenly switched to ISBN-13 as their feed or query format! We're in the process of rooting out all the 10-digit ISBN references and updating databases, so we're compliant with ISBN-13.

There are no 979 ISBN-13s out there yet (as far as I can tell), so it's a good time to make the transition.

I've written up a page that explains to my isbn.nu users precisely what's going on. It might be too technical/industry for them.
