Hashes are too long, aren't human-recognizable as to meaning, etc. I don't want half-assed workarounds. They need to uniquely number their books.

- they don’t need to do anything to conform to your arbitrary organization choices

- hashes are as long or short as you need them to be

- publication timestamp is in every ebook’s metadata, is almost guaranteed to be unique, monotonically increases, and has actual semantic meaning compared to an isbn or oclc
