Add books by barcode | Requests/Ideas

This post has been merged into Barcode scanning

Have the option to search for books by barcode. I find this especially helpful for adding purchased books to my TBR, owned book list.

I was going to suggest this. :) Is this still on your list?

queen_a Yes! As you've seen from the other post you've commented on. After Dark Mode, which we shipped earlier this year, it's our most upvoted feature. I hope to work on it this year. Your comment here reminded me this post existed and I will now merge it into the main one. :-D

I love this idea. Are you any closer to implementing it?

This is already on the roadmap to deliver in the long-term! :-)

@librarianmage - it's just a quicker way to bulk add books rather than entering the ISBN manually! :-)

Most books' barcodes are just their isbn numbers, which you can generally enter on the site to add. Do you mean taking photos of the barcode and reading that information directly?
