This is a simple book catalogue application, to store a list of your books. Books can be added either manually, by ISBN, or by barcode. Features include; * The obvious; you can add, edit, and display a list of books * Books can be sorted by Author or Title. * Books can be automatically added by typing in the ISBN or scanning the barcode. It will search Google Books for details (and download a thumbnail). It will search more sites as I add them. * Multiple Books lists (or bookshelfs). For example I like to keep my Doctor Who books seperate from my normal fiction books. * You can search for a book by title, author or series. * When adding or editing books author, series and publisher should display a suggestion list * When downloading book information, authors and titles are converted to proper case. e.g. "The murder on the links" becomes "The Murder on the Links" * Using ISBN or Barcode scanning will also download a thumbnail (if available) New in v0.4 * There is now an option in the main menu to export all data to the SDCard. This will be saved as a tab separated file in the bookCatalogue directory. * There is now an option in the main menu to import data from the SDCard. The import function, expects a file in the same format, location and name as the export function created. * Improvements have been made to the search results screen to make it more obvious New in v0.3 * Authors like "Marianne De Pierres" and "Ursula Le Guin" are now listed correctly. They will list as; De Pierres, Marianne Le Guin, Ursula New in v0.2 * The, An, and A should be listed after the title. e.g. "The Trigger" becomes "Trigger, The" * Books lists should sort by Series, Series #, then Author (or Title)
