LibraryThing vs Personal Library App

The LibraryThing app allows LibraryThing members to catalog and browse their collections. LibraryThing is focused on books, but you can add most media, including books, DVDs and CDs. LibraryThing relies on data from Amazon, and over 65 million library records. Add books by searching for them or scanning their ISBN barcode with the camera. Add high-resolution cover photos of your books with the cover editor and browse your books by cover type to find copies that need better covers.

Personal Library is the easiest way to catalog, organize, and keep track of every book you own. Simply scan the barcode on any book, and the app instantly looks up the title, author, publisher, cover image, genre, and more — no manual typing needed.
