Digital Libraries
I’m wondering if anyone knows of a good iPhone app out there that is like a digital library where you can load the covers and have them in alphabetical order etc.
Are there any? Or am I stuck using notes?

I use Calibre for that.Mr_Wimbaum wrote: ↑18 Jun 2020, 01:08 I’m trying to keep a record on my phone of what books I own. I collect Steve Jackson and Ian Livingston pick-a-path books from the 80s and I want a way to keep a log of them. At the moment, I just use notes on my phone with a list of the books I have already.

I’m leaning more towards a free app?
Any ideas?

Have you ever tried LibLib or Book Crawler?

Wowee! You’re much more organised than I am!aruntr2001 wrote: ↑04 Jul 2020, 09:20 I do have a habit of keeping the record on my laptop. I organize them well by keeping a database of the books I read and also link them with the highlights and notes taken in the course of reading them.

I’ve looked into Calibre and Adobe DE, but I’ve actually found I like the functionality of LibLib to be the best.redknitcapgirl wrote: ↑22 Aug 2020, 21:23 I've used Calibre before and now I've switched to Adobe Digital Editions, which are both free to download on their official websites. Both have the same functionality but I found that I like the overall look of DE better.

Sometimes I find this too. There are just too many different things on my phone to remember. Plus notes don’t update when you open them hahabeatrice_mom wrote: ↑26 Aug 2020, 09:21 I had been using notes on phone for a really long time. But then tried Calibre and liked it. It is easy to use and free. The most I need really. But now I am back to notes because find it not comfortable to have a lot of apps, that I use once in a while.
