How do I catalogue my comic books?

Unfortunately if it’s mainly comic books you want to catalogue, Delicious Library 2 may not be the application you’re looking for. Though we’d absolutely love to support comics, the problem is they lack unique, identifying barcodes. This means that the comic book distributers re-use the same barcode number on numerous episodes, so there’s no way they can be told apart when scanned. Since this eliminates one of the coolest parts of our application (barcode scanning) we’ve decided to wait until they’re labelled with unique numbers before they’re supported.

Another problem with comics is that we currently only use Amazon for look-ups, and let’s be honest, most comic books can’t be found on Amazon. Because of this, most comics have to be added completely manually (every detail typed in), and that’s as much fun as, well, a stab in the eye.

It is definitely something we’re keeping an eye on, and as soon as it’s a viable option, we’ll support comic books as well.
