my public library recently switched to this system I think, it used to be that you had to put each book one at a time on the self-checkout to "demagnetize" and orient it so it could read the barcode With the new system you just pile all your books / dvds at once on the reader in whatever orientation and it checks out every one of them automatically, the slowest part is having to punch in the pin of your library card, next step I guess it could be having touchid on the reader or something along those lines
