I got to thinking on this some more. I don't really need "book store" software, any store software that can use a bar code reader would work, I hope. What do you guys think?

In windows bar code scanners / kernel can be configured to dump ascii data straight into the keyboard buffer so you don't need app support. Is the same not true in Linux?

What I am looking for is some software that will first scan in the bar code on a book, then look online for the title, writer etc, then add that info to my database. I found software that can do that, but its only for windows. Once I have all the books in the database I could use any online store software to run my web site.
