Ask Slashdot: An 'Ex Libris' For My Books In a Digital Age?

New submitter smalgin writes: While I cannot boast an extensive library, it keeps growing every week. I share the books I like the most with my friends and acquaintances. Unfortunately, some of them are sloppy and forget to return my books, so to speak. I would like to put some mark, sticker or a stamp (Ex Libris) on my books to make them recognizable later. However, living in a digital age (blah blah yada yada) I cannot help but wonder how I could improve the ex libris beyond an ink stamp on a title page or a glued-on postcard-sized monstrosity some libraries use. Has anyone tried using RFIDs to identify his books? Please share your experience.

A couple of years ago I commissioned Oracle and SAP to build me a simple book-tracking database app; it should be done by May of 2021 if we don't run into any more compatibility issues and the money keeps flowing.
