There comes a time when there simply isn't enough shelf space to accommodate all of the books you own. At this point most of us, unable to bear selling them, opt to pack them away. Well, no longer do they need to be as good as lost until the next time you clear out the loft, because help is at hand in the guise of Bookpedia.
Using your webcam, Bookpedia enables you to quickly scan barcodes and draw down cover images and details from sites such as Amazon and the Library of Congress.
There is a free demo version that will allow you to enter 25 books, but the US$18 price tag is a bargin for book hoarders. Especially when you consider the ability to flick through cover art as you do in iTunes and even download your collection to an iPod for reference when you are out and about in bookshops. (You'll never find yourself buying the same book twice again.)
This is Mac only software: OS X 10.4.9+
