First, thanks everyone for the responses.
Thanks James et al regarding Android phone apps.
The Android scanner app works REALLY WELL. I'm
impressed. Goodreads is great.
Though I'm impressed I want something for my
desktop, say with Tellico, so I'm going to go with:
Thanks John. I just bought the scanner from
LibraryThing.
It doesn't say how long it'll take. If it's okay,
I'll borrow yours until it arrives. I'll PM you.
To anyone interested, the Android app Goodreads is
really impressive and scanning is a complete
breeze. It does sequential scans as well. You just
keep scanning bar codes and it adds all the books
to a designated 'shelf', you don't need to 'okay'
anything or click/press/swipe anything other than
scan the barcode. Dead easy.
Again, thanks everyone for the feedback.
I may run a small talk for SLUG on Tellico and
barcode scanning when I've started :)
Regards,
Patrick

GoodReads has an android app that not only does the scanning, it also
uploads your book list to their service that helps you track them -
