Book Scanner

Place a smart tag or RFID inside of each book. The tag would have info on the book and also a quick summary about the book also displaying info about how many times it has been scanned by customers. How many times it has been purchased and how many are in stock. Each customer carries a mini scanner and instead of letting customers thumb through every single book and place those smudges on pages throughout the book. They can scan and read a quick summary and display all the statistics on the book, if they like it place a purchase option on the scanner and when they go to check out nothing to carry except your coffee and the scanner. Hand in your scanner and they will retrieve all the books you want. The number of times a book is scanned and purchased can be sent back to the publisher or Author. Also with organization there isn't a crap load of re-shelving or trying to find where each book belongs. When you call in about a book to see if they have it in there isn't a delay while the employee goes to search to see if it is on the shelf. They check online database which is updated every time a purchase is made.
