Answers.Text: actually print copy and ebook edition **must** have different ISBNs, as per their rules. At least theoretically even .azw3 and .epub formats should have different ISBNs  but in practice nobody bothers, since Amazon uses its "own" ASIN cataloguing code so an ISBN is not needed.

  You can sell print on demand copies through Amazon's <https://www.createspace.com/>. When you finish setting up the title after entering page count, trim size, matte or gloss cover, etc. it will generate a 'minimum list price' typically around 5 dollars for the average paperback in my experience. This is how much it costs amazon to print it and also how low you can set the price of your paperback if you choose to distribute through amazon.
  
  Also worth noting is the fact that your print copy book and ebook should have different ISBNs - there is a way to link them in helix if you would like - but the bottom line here is that how you distribute and sell your ebook and how you distribute and sell your print book do not directly impact one another.
