  1. Okay, so lets say I want it to not only scan and bring up the book, but i also want it to bring up a price for the book refrencing a few sites like half/ebay/amazon/ so forth.. and on my computer… So, in theroy I could scan "google hacks" then it would import the cover, author, and also the price range like "used avaialble from" etc.. any ideaS?

  2. How about using the Droid to scan in barcodes and add the books to your library in Google Books? I have the bar code scanning software on my DroidX and am able to find these books in Google Books. I am however, unable to add them to my library!

  3. Great job!
    I want to use this to scan in "checked out books" from the library to have a record of every book I have, well, at least checked out. (Wish I had it from when I first seriously starting using the library. (H.S.
    Some libraries offer this-mine does not.
    Also I use the Universities library too.
    Thanks Google and this is free?! What a great company.
