This is more "physical book management," so if this is the wrong section sorry.

I've been using Calibre to catalog my physical books. For now, I've just been carrying over a pile of books to my desk and manually typing in the ISBNs. Painfully slow process.

I just realized that I have an Android phone, so I could probably just use that to scan the barcodes and get a list of ISBNs. Then either I dump them into Add from ISBN or use the Import List plugin.

Does anybody have a suggestion for an app that can do this? Preferably free.
