amyco Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 How do you all catalog your books, if indeed you do? We have bookshelves all over the house plus boxes in the basement, and sometimes when we are looking for a book we can't find it, especially if it's in a box. My idea is to go thru every box and create a sheet to tape on the outside that labels the contents. Of course our other problem is that when we go to a bookstore sometimes we can't remember if we have a certain book or not, or what condition it's in, etc. My dream here is to have every book loaded into some kind of *easy to use* software (I am afraid a typical spreadsheet would make my head explode) that I could store on my iphone! Does that exist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomatHWTK Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I use librarything, it's a website. You can state the location of your books in the comments section. You can even get a CueCat scanner to scan in the books with a bar code on them.

Shawna in Texas Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I use aNobii. There should be an iphone app for it. I have the Android app and I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNC Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I think LibraryThing is a more common choice, but I'm using Goodreads. I like the recommendations, reviews and looking at other lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use GoodReads, too ... just for what I'm currently reading, so it includes borrowed books and Kindle books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
