Scan a barcode to add a book

Adding a book you're already holding just got physical.

Point, scan, done

On a phone, open the scanner from your shelf, aim the camera at the barcode on the back of a book, and we'll read the ISBN, match it against the catalog, and let you add it to your collection in a tap. It's by far the fastest way to log a stack of books you already own — no searching, no typing.

Built for the couch

The scanner runs right in your mobile browser, so there's no app to install, and it holds steady while it hunts for a code. Stickers it can't read or barcodes that aren't in the catalog fail gracefully, so a stubborn label never gets in your way.
