Resumable activities have a bug where they can't load an item_location that is not of the type Character, that is, they can only load items in your inventory without an error.

Keep in mind that this issue is still valid, and where it not for this bug, it would have a 6 tiles range just like crafting.

I'd probably add to these:

• the fact that the menu closes every time you finish scanning one book, which makes this a ridiculously tedious task to open menu and select options again and again;
• the fact that there is no estimated time for how long a book takes to scan (and yes, every book has its own "time");

1. Making it popup after you're done scanning a single book is more annoying.
2. Time for scanning is 5_seconds * book_weight_in_grams / 5_grams. Few activities actually tell you how long it will take.

How is it annoying? The solution to that issue is just making it behave like the game does with eating. "There's nothing left to eat!" but "There's nothing left to scan!" instead, a thing that no one's complained about so far.

2. Time for scanning is 5_seconds * book_weight_in_grams / 5_grams. Few activities actually tell you how long it will take.

Yes. And the few that tell you are the ones that are used the most: Crafting, Eating, Reading.
