Paginor Help

Adding books

Entering an ISBN

Without a barcode or a camera, you can look up a book by its ISBN and check the details before saving.

Device

Searching by ISBN

  1. Open the “Scan” tab and choose “ISBN” at the top.
  2. Under “Enter ISBN”, type the 10- or 13-digit number. Hyphens and spaces don’t matter.
  3. Tap the magnifying glass.

Paginor searches all sources and, for a new book, opens the “Add Book” form straight away. The preview with “Add to Collection” stays below it.

Adding a book

The “Add Book” form shows what Paginor has found, and you can adjust it before saving:

  1. Check the details.
  2. Tap the tick at the top right (“Add”).
  • Cover: “Gallery” chooses your own photo, “Remove” removes the cover that was found.
  • “Book Details”: title, author(s) (separate several with commas), publisher, publication year, genre. The ISBN is fixed.
  • “Description” and “Cover URL (for web upload)”.
  • “Shelf”: which shelf the book goes on.

Shelf is full

Without Paginor Plus, a shelf holds 10 books. If you choose a full shelf, “Shelf is full” appears. “Save without shelf” adds the book without a shelf; “View Paginor Plus” lets you remove the limit.
