I’m too cheap to get a PDA just to keep track of my CD and book collections, but I really need something like this. (I just bought ANOTHER duplicate book!) Scanners seem to cost about $300 and PDAs usually cost a lot too. So getting the functions of both — to do just what I want — seems like a great deal to me.

I’m still working my way through the huge FAQ at Groqit.com, but it looks like they let you look up all kinds of stuff to make inventory lists easier. Like filling in information if you give it just a book title. That stuff is free to use. If I get this right, I can share lists with friends, and they don’t have to buy anything to make lists and share them with me. So they know what books I already have and get me one I don’t!

I’m cheap, and this definitely seems like a heckuva deal to me. :-)
