I hope this is in the right sub-forum - apologies if it isn't.

I'm in the habit of wandering round bookshops collecting ideas for my "To Buy" list. I have recently started using Android apps such as Book Catalogue or MyBookDroid (I've only just started this, so I'm not yet committed to any particular app) to scan the ISBN and download details of the relevant books for later purchase (usually as ebooks).

I would love to be able to import a catalog of my Calibre library into one of these apps so that I have a full list of my library for reference. Obviously, I could dump a simple list onto my phone, but it would be preferable to get the data into the relevant app.

If anyone has tried anything similar I'd appreciate any thoughts, suggestions, etc.

TIA,

Ian
