The Internet Archive Donate Books app helps donors determine which books from their collection to donate to the Internet Archive so they can be preserved and digitized. The app allows users to scan their book barcodes or identifiers to figure out which books to donate. Users can scan book barcodes or OCR printed identifiers in their books using their phone camera to identify their books and match to corresponding metadata. They will then receive feedback on whether the Internet Archive wants to preserve and digitize the book. The app includes modes for scanning barcodes or using OCR to scan printed identifiers. Simply place the barcode or identifier in the view of your phone camera and see a red or green response indicating whether to donate the book or not. For installation instructions, where to report bugs or request assistance, and information about physical item donations to the Internet Archive please see our help center page.

North is just the beginning. Azimo turns the classic compass into an everyday direction-finding toolkit. Find the Qibla, discover the direction of the Sun and Moon, or return to a place you saved. Instead of plotting a route, see which way to turn and the straight-line distance to your saved destination. FIND YOUR DIRECTION Switch between North, the Kaaba, the Sun, the Moon and your saved places. Follow clear left-or-right guidance and see the remaining angle to your target. Lock a bearing when you want to keep a direction. SAVE PLACES THAT MATTER Mark your parked car, campsite or a spot you want to visit again. Name your places, choose an icon or emoji and keep favorites close at hand. Add known coordinates directly. EXPLORE THE MAP View saved places on a full-screen map. See your location and facing direction, explore freely and return to your position whenever you need to. TAKE IT TO APPLE WATCH Send saved places and your parking location to your paired Apple Watch. Direction finding on the watch requires a compatible model with a compass sensor. GO FURTHER WITH AZIMO PRO • Compass designs inspired by minimalism, expeditions, mihrab motifs, sport, cities, architecture and glaciers. • Focus mode that hides the map so you can concentrate on your direction. • A solar planner showing sunrise and sunset times and directions for your location on a selected date. • GPX export for your saved waypoints. Find your direction with Azimo. Privacy Policy [EULA]: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RfQ0-2ORnj04dXPZ2mnbTtabUA8p17nK5FTUUqOeMpc/edit?usp=sharing
