Hello,
I recently joined LT, mostly thanks to its import/export functionality, and so far I'm quite happy with the functionalities of the service.

That's why I developed a bookmarklet to quick add book to my bookshelf, I've explained everything here:

I hope some will enjoy this feature!
let me know if something is not clear on how to use it.

Thomas

Does this work on any site/webpage containing book information?

hello editfish

the bookmarklet prompts you for an isbn, and pick by default the text you selected on the page, so either you can select the ISBN and it's automatic, or you can copy/paste it, or just type it in the prompt box.

so yes it can work on any website, as soon as you can have access to your URL bar.
