John, I thought that EAN (European Article Number) was the same as the International Article Number while books used the ISBN (International Standard Book Number). ISBNs changed from 10 digits to 13 digits, too. I bought one of those scanners from Amazon to facilitate my creation of a book database. I've started using a LO spreadsheet, but it's really slow going to enter ISBN, author name, title, initial cost. Using the scanner I'll make a text list of ISBNs then submit them in batches to ISBM search web sites. I'll then put them in a SQLite database. Much quicker than doing it all manually, one keypress at a time. Rich
