I actually don’t know how many books I have. I only know that it is somewhere north of 3,000, as I had hit some sort of buffer overrun within the BookCrawler iOS app somewhere just shy of 3,000 volumes.

Back in 2015.

Now, it still works just fine as a reference app to tell me what I have obtained, it’s only search and stats that have done a thorough dirt nap. And the scanner function, which can’t seem to handle iOS phones with zoom lenses like the 5× of the iPhone 15. It seems to be stuck on the 5× zoom and mis-reads almost all UPC codes regardless of lighting, spawning bad entries. I’m forced to enter all ISBN codes by hand.

But the exportable database… has more than doubled since things went sideways in 2015. So yeah. If there is a linear relationship there…
