You will still be able to do this, now you will enter it into the id box with isbn: as a prefix. I know it is an extra step but....

I am curious though, how do you scan in your paperback books, are you scanning them without separating them from their binding or separating them from their binding in order to scan them?? I would love to know because I have alot of older books which I would like in ebook format but I do not think the publisher has any plans to re-release them.
