Description
I am using this module with ASIN module. I have created a content type "Book Review" which uses the ASIN CCK field.
I created a Book Review node for a particular book (ISBN 0743454537), which worked fine.
Then, for another purpose, I tried to create an Amazon node for the same ISBN number. It would not allow me to add that node, because it said that the ISBN number had already been used.
Is there a way to be able to use an ISBN number for two different types of nodes?

I don't really have an answer, only a suggestion. Why not use the nodereview module? It allows you to link multiple reviews to amazon nodes -- or any type of node you specify. There's no need for CCK or anything else.
Once installed, it creates a 'review' tab, which lists any reviews for that particular item. If none are present, it allows you to add a review.
Note that the reviews must be unique based on user, so each member can only add one review to a specific node.
