Bulk import of books

I don't know about Kev Mears, but I have a rather extensive library in LibraryThing. It'd be rad to rock both.

I'm using anobii.com, which allows export in 3 formats. csv,excel2003 or above and html

I can't see an option to upload a file here, but I'd be happy to send you my data.

Cracking- just tried it. 130+ books added.

Cheers for doing this so quickly.

I've used a WordPress plugin to track my reading for a couple of years now, and while it doesn't have an easy export mechanism, I could easily run a query on the DB to get the ISBNs/ASINs and drop them into a CSV. Would it be possible for me to upload a custom CSV? If so, what order should columns be in? What other data would be needed?

Thanks!

I use Shelfari which exports books as an XLS file. Fortunately, I didn't have many books in my account (<100>t a big deal to manually add each book, but for users with a larger library, it might be an issue.

Love the fact that an import was added... unfortunately, I've been using Booxter to store my readings, and while it has export capabilities, I couldn't figure out how those export tags mapped to the services available for import (LibraryThing, Anobii, and GoodReads).

I tried to just dump the ISBN numbers into the ISBN import box, but only 10% of ~130 ISBNs could be found. I wound up entering the rest by hand in the Search Books field... oh well, one time data entry and it's done now.

If it helps for testing purposes, I can provide the ISBN list that I was trying to enter..?

It'd be fantastic to import from Amazon, since that's where I do most of my book buying anyhow.

Also, "Account > Import" is now "Profile > Import Books" or just http://readernaut.com/books/import/

I'm using AllConsuming. I'm not sure there's an export feature on this site (and also, music and movies are mixed in). Shall I continue doing it manually?

Is this feature implemented using an OAuth token or is Readernaut using the password anti-pattern to enable screen scraping?

I tried the Goodreads importer and it worked... sort of. It imported all of the books as ‘books I’ve read’ — there are 146 of 504 where this would be accurate. The rest are wrong. What’s worse is that I see no way to purge my account and start over, though I think the dealbreaker would be being able to import my books from Goodreads. I have a lot of books I’d like to read!

In case future readers of this question need the info, the import feature isn't where this string of messages indicates. Go to your shelf. In the SHELF menu, choose IMPORT BOOKS. Spent fricking half an hour trying to find that. :)
