This is an open source android application. Please feel free to fork, bug fix and commit back.

This is a simple book catalogue application, to store a list of your books. Books can be added either manually, by ISBN, or by barcode.

Features include;

The obvious; you can add, edit, and display a list of books
Books can be sorted by Author or Title.
Books can be automatically added by typing in the ISBN or scanning the barcode. It will search Google Books for details (and download a thumbnail). It will search more sites as I add them.
Multiple Books lists (or bookshelfs). For example I like to keep my Doctor Who books seperate from my normal fiction books.
You can search for a book by title, author or series.
When adding or editing books author, series and publisher should display a suggestion list
When downloading book information, authors and titles are converted to proper case. e.g. “The murder on the links” becomes “The Murder on the Links”
Using ISBN or Barcode scanning will also download a thumbnail (if available)
