Whether you are new to BookScouter or are a veteran, you always have new opportunities to get the most out of BookScouter.
Our team has strategically designed different features and expanded user platforms to make your experience profitable and user-friendly.
Check out all the ways you can get the most out of your free BookScouter account:
ISBN
Check every book’s ISBN number on BookScouter before you buy, rent, or sell. The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a numeric way to identify books. Each one is either 10 or 13 characters long and is unique. You can often find the ISBN in several locations on the book. First, you can see it on the copyright page near the front of the book. It is likely that you can also find it near the barcode.
Utilize BookScouter Platforms
BookScouter online, The App for iOS and Android, and Alexa are all great platforms. Seriously, use all three! If you’re out and about at a thrifted book store, check the ISBN number using the App. If you’re enjoying time at home and don’t want to look on a screen, ask Alexa to lookup the ISBN on BookScouter for you.
