Can I bulk scan in books to the iPhone app?

You can scan multiple books at once onto your "read" or "to-read" shelf:

1. Open the app and click "scan" in the bottom right menu.

2. If you're not on the Scanned Books List, tap "Done" on the bottom left to get there.

3. Check to see if you have scanned books in the list that you don't want to add to the shelf. If you do, scroll down to the bottom and tap "Clear Scanned Book List" before moving to step 4.

4. Tap "Scan" on the top right to move into camera mode.

5. Scan barcodes for all the books you'd like to add. You can just scan one after another without tapping or exiting into the list. As long as you see the ISBN appear in green below the viewer, the barcode has been processed.

6. When you're done, tap "done" on the bottom left.

7. Scroll down to the bottom and tap either "Add All to Read Shelf" or "Add All to To-Read Shelf", depending on your preference.
