BOOK CATALOGUE
copyright: 2010 Evan Leybourn
license: GNU General Public License
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)

- Improvements have been made to the search results screen to make it more obvious
