Books ReviewGreat program - Version: 3.2.5c, 10/23/2009 06:34AM PST

I registered on this site just to review this program. It's exactly what I was looking for, and you can't beat the price (free). Not exactly as intuitive as it could be (took me a while to figure out how to sort by fields other than the title), and the search is still a little wonky (it would not come up with the common, mass-market paperback edition of a popular book on a title search - I had to use the ISBN #), but overall it's already proved to be very handy.

Books ReviewStill rudimental - Version: 3.2.5a, 4/16/2009 06:11AM PST

Promising but still rudimental. For instance, after I've entered the name of the author, I have found it impossible to view a list under any heading other than "title" even though I created an "author" list heading. So that's pretty useless.

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.
