Jumping back on on this thread with a question - after trying out the LibraryThing interface, decided I wasn't a fan, because it seems that when you go to add a book, the database goes by ISBN number. I get why, because it's a common identifier, but...if I have a CSV file of both books I've read, and/or want to read, I don't necessarily have the ISBN number for all of these books. Further, ISBN makes distinctions between publication date, reprints, compilations, type of publication (print, eBook, Kindle versions, etc.) And it makes simple list imports with just title and author VERY tedious to load.
So, I went back to try Goodreads, and noticed the same thing there. Now, as an IT guy, with a certain amount of experience in working with databases, I can appreciate the need for this sort of information in certain spaces like Goodreads and LibraryThing, but what I'd be most interested in would be an app that just allows for title and author, with the other fields being optional for ISBN, description, review, rating, etc. Trying a few in iTunes and Google Play but nothing that allows me to import a simple CSV with author,title alone.
Suggestions?
