Is there a barcode wish-list app for Android phones?
I have recently upgraded to an Android phone. I was in B&N and found several titles I wanted to remember or perhaps put on my GoodReads "ToRead" shelf.
For grins - I pulled out my phone and fired up the BarCode scanner app. I took a picture of the barcode on the back of a title - and the phone took me to Amazon page for the book. Kind of cool, but not what I wanted. I kind of wanted the phone to act like those scanners they give brides when registering for gifts - scan the code and the item goes on a list. I wound up opening an email program and typing the the titles & authors. I hit Android Marketplace and there are some "Collection" apps that let you scan your books or DVD collection and it enters things into a little database. (Does anybody use one of these they would recommend?) These were a bit ... involved for what I wanted, but they do have all the lookup routines I would want. Anybody know of an app that simply looks up barcodes from Amazon/other book site and makes a simple list? |

MyBookDroid allows you to enter a book to your TBR list via the scanner. I just checked--the GoodReads app does, too.

Google Goggles can keep a history of your scans. I haven't worked with it extensively, but it might work for you.

Click Add Book, and then choose option Scan Barcode/ISBN, the in-app bar code scanner will open and you just scan the book barcode. The app will then search Goodreads and include the book. Voila, easy. Good luck ! https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...oodreads&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...atalogue&hl=en Last edited by Dr. Drib; 04-24-2014 at 10:04 AM. |
