Bookpedia

Whether books line every wall of your house or barely fill one shelf, Bookpedia is the perfect application to help you keep track of them. Entering the information for each book is fast and easy because the program retrieves all the information from the Internet for you. So youcan sit back and relax with a good book. Oh, the places you`ll go...To retrieve information about your books, Bookpedia gives you access to all the Amazon sites (US, UK, Germany, Canada, France, Japan) as well as the Library of Congress and several international book sites. In addition, Bookpedia also lets you access most libraries attached to the z39.50 server system. You can search for your books using keywords - for example title, author, publisher, ISBN or a Combination of them all - or if you have a scanner or an iSight, just scan the UPC and let Bookpedia do the rest. Keep it cleanIf your books are all in a Jumble, Bookpedia will help you organize them, at least on your computer. Create as many collections as you like to sort your books or if you want Bookpedia to do the grunt work for you, set up SMART collections. Specify the criteria for the smart collections and they will update themselves automatically each time a new book is added to the program. There is even a dedicated collection for books you don`t own yet - the wishlist collection lets you add books without actually adding them to the library so you can keep them apart but still remember them for the future. Know thy shelfWhether you have 15 books or 1500, chances are your friends will want to borrow them once in a while. Thanks to Bookpedia you won`t have to worry about seeing the book again or forgetting who took it in the first place. The borrowed collection helps you keep track of who took which book at what date and when they were supposed to return it.
