Rear scans unreliable #2

Barcodes on the back of some books aren't the ISBN - guessing they're the UPC.

Many have an inner cover ISBN barcode that scans properly. Determine why this is and if there is a way to read the back reliably.

Potential workaround: allow manual ISBN entry if necessary.

There appears to be a method to convert UPC -> ISBN, although UPC are 12-digit and could come across as a bad scan.

Might also add a note on the scan page to try the inside cover of books.
