When uploading manga covers, how about adding the ISBN as well? It might come in handy someday.

Good idea. That way store links can be auto created rather than manually inputed by users.

I think this would be a cool idea. It'd be nice to have a comprehensive index of all of the releases out there. This is MangaDEX, after all :p

It should be noted that different language releases of the same volume have different ISBNs (having all of these would be good for i18n though), and sometimes a volume has multiple editions (e.g. Nichijou volume 10 vs. Nichijou volume X, those 3-in-1 volume rereleases, etc.)

It should also be noted that some doujinshi on this site are from Twitter, Pixiv, Comiket, etc., and these probably don't have ISBNs.

A good starting reference may be Goodreads (example: Naruto volume 1), because they have the ISBNs for all the releases in all the countries listed together.
