## Summary

Bowker is the ISBN agency for the United States. KDP can assign a free ISBN to a print book, but that ISBN shows "Independently published" as the imprint and cannot be used outside KDP. Buying your own ISBN from Bowker makes you the publisher of record and lets you use the same ISBN across distributors. Check current prices on its site.
