This is nice. It will make finding books a lot easier.

@GoogleWebmasterHelp Will it work with childrens books because I am making a children's books library database?

[medievalman86]

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?

Can u scan lottery tickets, lol

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!

If you go on an importer site like DealExtreme, you can get a cheap barcode scanner for under $40! With free shipping!

[TheDaniel500]

[bestSVMS]

[samking12]

i have a htc touch pro can i scan books with that?

[wmotley11]

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.

[igilbeys]

great!

[Jayperk]

This worked great for me. 92 books in 30 minutes . Thanks!

[frvfilms]

i wish google would have a charge service to have all ebooks on there, so we dont kill more trees or carry 40lbs of books to each class.

[slackorama]

Very cool.

And I too want the android app for this. Google products already uses the android barcode scanner, why not books too?

[storycharms]

Rewind.. I want the Andriod barcode app!!

[samking12]

did u get that app?

[storycharms]

No but it is available

[tenkely]

That is pretty cool. I wish I could add books to my library using my Android phone... hint hint nudge nudge...

[JDGfromMTL]

You can use the Barcode Scanner app on your android phone to do this - just scan and click on the Book Search button when the barcode has been recognized - jumps to Google Books in your browser - sign-in and volia! Working great for me - easy peasy.

[tenkely]

Indeed! Worked wonderfully, I completely forgot Barcode Scanner recognized books vs other products. Thanks for the tip.
