@rjalex - if you can copy the ISBN(s) into your clipboard from somewhere (Amazon, Goodreads, Publisher etc) you could use the Add Books->Add from ISBN option.

In its basic usage it will create an empty book (one with no format files) and initiate a metadata download to 'fill in the blanks'. Example - I entered this ISBN '9781408803011', which resulted in this.

From there you could add the book to a 'Books to get' reading list, or if you create a 'Books to get' Virtual Library with a search term of formats:"false" it'll be there courtesy of your neighbourhood Knarl.
