Books from a photo: check the count with − and + before saving.
Choose how to save books: Add keywords saves one item with the count as its quantity, plus the photo and every word read. Each title saves one item per book.
Keywords: Find searches them, and the item editor shows them under "Words in the photo" so they can be edited.
Better book counting in mixed photos:
- Upside-down spines are read.
- Stacked and standing books are counted separately.
- Unread books at either end of a stack are kept.
- Two books whose boundary was missed are split apart.
Author names stay out of book titles, co-authors included.
