The current "Bookland" EAN, which is the 13-digit number just below a book's bar code, is actually the same thing as the 13-digit ISBN (notice that the Bookland EAN and the ISBN are the same except for the 978 prefix and the check digit). Although, in the future, some 13-digit ISBNs will start with 979 instead of 978.
We've started dual-numbering our copyright pages, but we're not going to dual-number our bar codes (we'll just switch to ISBN 13 when we need to).
