Bookpedia ReviewFast, reliable, and customizable - Version: 4.4.3, 6/6/2009 12:42PM PST

I started using this program when I first switched to a Mac 2 years ago, and have had nothing but a terrific experience with it. I tried both DL and Bookpedia, and found that Bookpedia was far more reliable and flexible for my use. I recently [April 2009] received a copy of the latest DL as part of the latest Machesit and found that I was still better served by Bookpedia.

As a humanities professor, I like being able to use smart folders and the columns to organize and tag my books. Additionally, the ability to export titles for bibliographic use is outstanding. I have also made good use of its ipod syncing capabilities--which have only been made better with pocketpedia which allows you to sync to iphones and ipod touch. [Something promised in future versions of DL.] This lets me keep track of everything I already have and everything I am looking for and helps me to comparison shop with updated prices for new and used items. I could really go on and on about the terrific customer service as well. But shouldn't you just go and see for yourself? You won't be disappointed!

Bookpedia ReviewGood Design, but - Version: 4.3.2, 9/27/2008 11:16AM PST

doesn't work with my iSight of my iMac Intel. Just a few times it could read the bar code. My arm fell nealy off. Then i tried delicious Library, there the iSight recognized all books immediately.
But the Design of Delicious Library is out of something (American "woodwork" plastic design). The 2 Company should work together, DL with their pattern matching technology and Bookpedia with their design.
