iPhone/iPad book catalogue software

[cambournepete]

Does anyone have any recommendation for an app on the iPad or iPhone for cataloging books and/or CDs?
Ideally it would allow multiple devices to share a database, perhaps using iCloud.

We've 1000s of books and can't remember what we've got when in a bookshop.

Interesting, I'd not seen that before, but I need to be able to scan bar codes or ISBN, otherwise it'll take forever.

I haven't used them, but Book Crawler and iBookshelf are ones I've seen referred to on another forum; I'm sure there are many more. These two use dropbox to sync between devices.

Edited to add that a quick Google threw up these:-

...and the two mentioned above also do barcode scanning.

HTH, Pete

I've not used it myself, but was intrigued by the idea of it. They do have an option to use a cheap scanner (http://www.librarything.com/cuecat ) but an iPhone app would seem to be such an obvious gap that it surely can't be long before one of their 1.5m users fills it.
