I like your article because you show "how to fail" instead of the common "how to win". We started a product/company (took a year to build), have a similar situation, and are still debating closing everything completely. If we do end up shuttering, I'll just try to sell to a competitor for a little computer money. Anyway, I think your product sounds cool (would b good for a bookstore) and I think your story could be ebook worthy.

Yeah, books might be a good niche for a product like this. There is a market for software targeting people selling through Amazon who really need just inventory management and not customer lists and the other features mentioned in the original article. The custom barcode scan stuff is spot on, it would be interesting to have a Android or iPhone application that integrates potentially in real-time with a web app (look at the Roller demo that Google just released to see how simple integration can be) and is used as a barcode scanner. Supporting ISBN, QR, other custom barcode formats could be a valuable feature.
