Good idea.

Can it only identify American or English language books ? Even if 45 millions is impressing I can't find a FAQ with the answer anywhere. I guess I'll have to try.

Currently only English books are available, sorry for any inconvenience.

My wife is working in a school library. For some reasons, the previous book database has been lost.

The fact that you could snap a picture of a shelf, do some check, and get a raw text file with title, author, ISBN number would be a tremendous help for a quick and dirty digitization.

I know this is not your primary use case, but I am sure there are many people with that kind of issue. Looking forward to try your app !
