This software (which comes with a USB UPC scanner) is very good, but has some serious feature holes. First the good: ease of use is incredible, the UI is mostly excellent, it looks beautiful, and unlike some of its competitors, it manages to fin a "hit" for almost everything I've thrown at it so far, even old and out of print books almost always comes up with information.
The downsides: No cancel button in the individual editing pane means if you mess something up, you are stuck with it, unless you want to delete the whole entry or manually correct it. Also, there is no easy way to sub-categorieze books by genre, and no way to change what criteria are shown in the main database window (you get author, title, and rating, and that's it). Also, things slow down a bit when you get a hige database...it woul dbe nice if there were ways to filter the database inline.
That said, this is a very solid 1.0.x release, and I expect most of my complaints will get addressed in future releases.
