A number of people on the play store are dinging Selfie for requiring users to write their name on the copyright page of their books for free/discount ebooks. I am also not a fan of writing in (most) books, but I assume (and will try tonight) that a slip of paper with my name on it (or a transparency) placed on the copyright page for the photo will suffice.<p>It would also remove the ownership proof the Selfie wants for free/discounts. People could easily use a signature slip at a friends house or the library.
I'd like to see them provide options for doing other interesting things with the books they identify besides finding e-book versions of them.<p>For instance, I'd love something that would let me photograph my bookshelves and then it mails me a list of my books with LOC or Dewey numbers attached. I started making labels with LOC numbers for me books to make it easier to file them, but it was a pain in the ass to look up the numbers.
Good idea.<p>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.
