Is there a barcode wish-list app for Android phones?

I have recently upgraded to an Android phone. I was in B&N and found several titles I wanted to remember or perhaps put on my GoodReads "ToRead" shelf.

For grins - I pulled out my phone and fired up the BarCode scanner app. I took a picture of the barcode on the back of a title - and the phone took me to Amazon page for the book. Kind of cool, but not what I wanted.

I kind of wanted the phone to act like those scanners they give brides when registering for gifts - scan the code and the item goes on a list.

I wound up opening an email program and typing the the titles & authors.

I hit Android Marketplace and there are some "Collection" apps that let you scan your books or DVD collection and it enters things into a little database. (Does anybody use one of these they would recommend?) These were a bit ... involved for what I wanted, but they do have all the lookup routines I would want.

Anybody know of an app that simply looks up barcodes from Amazon/other book site and makes a simple list?
