  I think that auto-populating the fields with the scanned comic's information is overkill. If I wanted to scan a bunch of comics of mixed dates and values, it would make much more sense to either:

  1. Take me to the "add to my collection" screen for that issue, with no auto-population.
  eg: Scan Catwoman vol 4 #13 where I would be able to enter my own paid price, comment, etc..

  Or at the very least....
  2. Take me straight to the indexed issue information (to save time in typing the name, browsing the list, tabbing through the page numbers, etc) eg: Take me straight to Amazing Spider-Man #300 without the typing and additional 3-ish clicks.

  Well, I would never make it where you can scan a comic to add it to your collection. I would make it where it scans and takes you to the comic where you can do with it as you please...but no automated addition.

  I think what James was getting at was, if you scanned a book, that it would scan in and be added to your collection at cover price and you would not be given the option of changing the price paid? But I assume if we incorporate this UPC scanning that you are still given the option of putting down how much you paid for it (including percentages). If that kind of what you meant James? Even so, if a book is added to your collection you can still change the price paid column and add in your percentages/prices.

  James your comment is irrelevant to the topic. But to answer your question, at the top of the add to collection page it tells you how: "You can now enter a % in the Price Paid header to take a fixed % off each price."

  So in the price paid box, just enter 20% and hit the down arrow and it will take 20% off of all of the prices.

  I get MOST of my books at a 20% OFF at my local comic shop for my "Pull List" there. How could you incoporate the percentage? If a book is 3.99 I pay 2.79 & if a book is 2.99 I pay 2.09 per issue.

  I have researched it and there are 2 "possibilities"

  1. Use the web scan method from zxing. The current problem is they do not return the issue, only the series. I have contacted the developer and he said he could return the issue, but it is not high on his priority list. Also it would only work on Android as the iOS port is different (would have to convince them too).

  2. Take the source for the zxing app and incorporate it into a native CBR.com app for both iOS and Android.

  So #1 is possible, I doubt #2 would happen as it would cost thousands of dollars to build a native app for devices. I am already pretty close to having an "app" for CBR.com and other than my time it won't cost anything.

  Many newsstand editions have UPCs, and there are offline platforms that permit scanning of inventory.

  That would be nice if the comic book industry used the QR process.
