I waited forever for "Delicious Library" to be updated and finally bought this instead. Shouldn't have waited for so long: This is a brilliant application, with lots of different options/sources for information import and huge variety of export templates. Neat!

Bookpedia ReviewThis is a phenomenal piece of software! - Version: 4.0, 9/26/2007 07:25PM PST

These people really do know how to program!

The new version - a pretty major upgrade, adding useful and sophisticated functionality - is actually free to existing users.

On installation it seamlessly updates your data - then continues to provide the best set of features, is the most reliable (never any crashes etc. Never), and looks the most elegant of all such software.

Only complaint - it's worth over twice as much!

Thanks, Bruji!

Bookpedia CommentaryiSight function not usable - Version: 3.4.1, 2/3/2007 09:02AM PST

On my iMac17" with built-in iSight, I've just been trying the barcode reading function (my only reason for trying this, as I happily keep my complex biblio database in FileMaker). So far, Bookpedia's iSight interface usually just isn't registering anything (I initiate the camera attempt and hold the book in front of the red bars adjusting slowly in every way until my arms are sore), while on the three occasions it finally flashed green and registered an ISBN code, it got it wrong (in three different ways) -- multiple digits incorrect, so that the search was futile. This is with ample ambient (but not direct) sunlight...
