I just started using this, but I've been hoping for OCR in a book scanner for as long as I've been selling to World of Books (Ziffit and SellBackYourBook). The fact that this has OCR is amazing, and worth 5 stars by itself. Then it searches a bunch of book buyers at once? Excellent. The only thing left is to offer (for an extra charge of course) the option to ship all of the books to you and have you sort and resell them to the buyers. But that could get hairy. What you offer now is outstanding.

The only thing missing is searching for a title or author. The email list is great but does not show a price.

I have a lot of older books to clear out and want to sell a few and donate the rest. This app is helping me quickly sort those that are still worth something and those that are not worth messing with. I'm using it just to screen and will not be selling thru the 'buyers' on the app. For my needs it is working fine.
