I have a Fujitsu scanner that changed my mind on scanners and I am in love with it. I actually own two. My office doesn't even have a copier. We just scan, save, and print everything. One of these days, I mean to make the office paperless but we aren't quite there yet.

Oh, that's fantastic, Gris. That's exactly what I need.

It takes some practice to get things going - like most super-flexible programs, it's fairly complicated. Lifehacker has a couple of good tutorials that you should be able to find.

Yeah, I'm totally okay with configuration. I'll look up the tutorials. I mean, I'm the kind of person that reads car manuals.

So, Siri thinks I'm my sister. Does that mean I have to give her my new phone?

Yes. Yes it does.

People tell me that my sister and I sound more alike than we look alike, so I suppose that's not uncommon.

Meara, you don't have to do what robots say, unless we're talking about Robocop or a Terminator.

I now have an Android phone and I want to scan book barcodes to get the ISBN number and information, both to finally catalog my library and to sell some books. I want to be able to have import the book information to some kind of catalog on my PC. There is a scanning app that uploads to Good Reads. Is anyone else that crazy? If so, any suggestions?

I wonder if there's one for Librarything.

Ooh, that would be so great. It's weird that our phones are now like our own CueCats.

Just about any library program for a phone could probably let you export a list that could easily be imported into LibraryThing. I don't have any specific suggestions, but I'd bet there are dozens.

Gris, I use Locale to do that sort of stuff. It's pretty cool. It can be set to react to, out of the box, location, orientation, time, and person calling. And that can be used to fire off a lot of things, like configuration settings (ringer, bluetooth, screen brightness, etc) or to do list alerts, or web site logins with plugins. I posted about it upthread some.
