Is it possible to display .pdf files for cook books that you have ? Also could it run an app where you can shuffle the items in the database to create a breakfast, lunch or dinner meal? and best of all if it could read the .pdf like an apple app does so you do not have to stop to read the cook book but just listen to it :) These are thoughts I had in my head as I love to cook a lot and hate stopping to read the cook book. None the less I am going to follow this closely I love it Excellent this is exactly what I wanted to do. Is it possible to display .pdf files for cook books that you have ?

Just think though. Once companies jump on board, and you can update bar codes from across the net, all that crap could be immediately downloaded and in your database. It's a coming. Of course then people will be hacking into your kitchen to pull the old "is your refrigerator" running joke. Expect for now, it will be driving down the road, and they'll be haxor stealing your beer. hmm... Pair this up with a few more wireless screens around the house, say at the front door, and some RFID tags on your watch, keychain or necklace, and the white board system could be awesome. You walk in the door and it says hello $name and asks if you would like to hear your message, and so forth, then tells you you're low on Mountain Dew, or that the refrigerator ran away with your smartphone and all the beer.

I will hopefully have the software available for download soon. A lot is hard coded that I have to make into options and there are a few bugs I need to work out. Keep an eye out here for updates. Thanks for all the comments.

Been looking for something like this. Any idea when you release a version? Ready to purchase and or contribute to the cause! Well done! Been looking for something like this.

Of course, that's the easy part. Getting it to work together is always the challenge. Great job on the build! I’ve been attempting a similar idea, and have the hardware in place.

I will be looking for parts now, I cant wait for the software for this! Great job!! This would be such a time saver! I do wonder if you could run this on an arduino and a solid state drive for cost - noise - heat? This is killer! I will be looking for parts now, I cant wait for the software for this! Great job!!

Macs are superior in that fact and many others. They are growing in enough popularity with the working class people now that they are starting to receive some of the same software that was once only available to Windows users. Excellent point my friend. Very true Ken. Macs are superior in that fact and many others.
