What is IBookshelf?

Now in the App Store Top Paid 20 under the Books category! iBookshelf is your personal portable library reference. A comprehensive book database, created and continuously maintained through extensive feedback from readers like you.

Books are displayed ordered by title, author, genre, and status. You can search for books in your library, and enter a "loan status" to remember who you loaned the book to or borrowed it from. A new book can be entered automatically (enter ISBN and remaining data is loaded from the internet) or manually. If you load the data from the internet, the book cover image is loaded as well. It will even tell you where you can buy the book and how much it costs!

Features:

Enter the ISBN and tap load to retrieve book data from the internet (live barcode scanning with Red Laser SDK)

Enter the title and/or author and tap load (next to the title field) to look up the ISBN and load remaining data from the internet
