An app like this could solve the puzzle in your newspaper faster than you could transcribe it. I would love to see more OCR apps which are even more useful. Where's the app to scan a barcode or ISBN of a book and have it populate with the information from Amazon and a link to download the e-book?

Agreed, in theory, but Amazon changed the TOS of their API to limit/disallow third-party access to its data from mobile devices:
