I am an avid reader, often reading a book a day. However, my cleaning lady occasionally shelves my unread books with my read ones. Since I'm terrible at remembering titles, I often begin a book only to realize I've already read it. With this great application, I can keep separate lists for unready and already read. I haven't tried to add new fields yet, but I intend to add fields for "donated," "sold," "loaned" and "given away."

I cannot figure out how to download and install plugins manually. I can see how to allow the application to do this but I am *very* reluctant to take this route. I don't know the source of the plugins, I cannot run them through a virus-scanner before installing/decompressing.
I would also like to know if the application respects proxy settings when contacting sources for quickfill information - and I would like to know the precise addresses it is using to do so.
I note that the project page on Sourceforge has not been updated for sometime and that there is no obvious link to a source release of the current version (as opposed to source from the svn repository). I tend to rely on Sourceforge's emailed notices about updates to projects and I (sometimes) like to see and/or compile the source.
This looks like a very promising application, but it is not quite as transparent as I would like - especially for an application that is going to be "calling out" a lot.
- a very untypical mac user, of course

Also: when you enter all the data about a book in a particular list (say "Nonfiction") and you have a lot of lists (say "Nonfiction" "Geography" "Poetry "Architecture" etc.) there is no way to just view ALL of your books as a single list. You have to open that particular list. Which is another annoyance.
Neverthless this application does have some promising features but before you start spending hours and hours inputting all your info, be aware that at some future point you may find a better app and have to do it all over again.
I'm still looking for a mature application of this type. But this one ain't it.
