Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this product with the assumption that the scanner would would allow me to scan my comics into their database software, creating an inventory of my collection. I could not be farther from the truth. Looking at their site, one would think that the scanner actually enters some information into the software: wrong. When you wish to enter a comic into the program, first you click the "add series" button, and type the name of the series. Not scan the barcode of the comic: manually type the name of the comic. Then you parse through a list of possible names (depending on title: x-men and star wars bringing up huge lists, for example) to find the one you wanted. Chose the target. The you click "add issues." Manually type in a range of issues. 1-10, 15, 16-35 for example. Still, no scanning. You see, the scanner is ONLY USED when you create custom barcodes with the program and print them yourself. If you're like me and looking for software that can handle having barcodes scanned into it, then try the Comic edition over at Collectorz.com. Steer clear of this. And as for the excuse I've heard bantered about that comics aren't meant to be scanned, my personal Uncanny X-men collection which starts at issue 101 has unique bar codes. That's 36 years of unique barcodes (and it took some serious boredom to scan through a stack of them looking at those numbers and comparing, but oh well). I've found a few oddballs in my collection without barcodes, but out of 13 long boxes, I estimate well over 90% to have barcodes. As attractive a presentation as this product has, I really wish it had the functionality to claims to have as well.
