[BUG] Find book edition according to scanned ISBN #549

Open bikenhike opened 5 months ago

If you scan a ISBN it shows you every edition of that book instead of finding the correct edition for the scanned ISBN.

Thanks for raising the issue, can you share the ISBN and what book should be found?

Also if you search for the ISBN on the Open Library website is the problem also occurring or it is limited to Openreads app?

Hi, thank you very much for your fast feedback and your awesome app! Actually it's basically with every ISBN I scan. If I scan my paperback's ISBN with your app it shows me every edition it can find (416 (!)). The desired behavior would be to directly select my edition after scanning, so I don't have to choose it manually.

If I search on the Open Library site with my paperback's ISBN I find the desired edition directly:

E.g.: 978-0-00-748729-5 (https://openlibrary.org/books/OL28343163M/The_Hobbit)

I see the issue here, it should direct you to the proper edition then. I'll see what I can do
