Help QR Barcode + Internet Tablet

Hello all,

I have a COBY Kyros MID7015-4G tablet that does not have a camera to scan barcodes. I do, however, have a scanner application (which does not seem to work without a camera).

I wouldn't care so much if my tablet supported the Android Market. Unfortunately, it doesn't, so my ways of downloading apps are limited.

Is there any way to get tablets to read barcodes without taking a picture of them? A special app maybe?
It seems pretty silly to me that my tablet has to read a barcode from a picture, when I can see the original code perfectly in my browser.

Thanks.
