I published many paperbacks with Amazon ISBNs. Everything was perfect but some books became too popular (sold well) and it was the beginning of my drama. I completely lost control (long story).

The one solution I found to exclude my books from expanded distribution and unpublish them doesn't work. I am spending days emailing Amazon who is still selling my books and companies are still reselling. I have my own ISBNS now and found a new publishing platform, Ingram.

Now, the problem is: I know from many resellers that they have my printed books from Ingram and they will send the books back there. I don't know how many. Is it possible to replace ISBN and barcode on already printed books or it must be reprinted? Sorry - I have no idea how it works, pity to loose that printed stock.
