"Well worth it, as are all the pedias!"
Version: Bookpedia 4.6.2
Pros
This product really does what it says it will do! Books can be sorted, in any way you might want. A great way of keeping track of what you have.

My one real gripe is that I cannot get it to transfer the info to my iPod Touch or iPhone. This really needs to be dealt with....!

"It Works"
Version: Bookpedia 4.5.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This user of BookPedia & DVDPedia run a Church Library with about 2500 titles. We have all the issues associated with a Library operation in micro form. This software package and the support we get from the developer meets all our needs. As it is a Mac program teaching our volunteer staff how to use it is easy. Bottom line here is for anyone needing to run a small library operation like a Church library this will fit the bill. I am in Ontario Canada. Do a google search, it make take a couple of tries but I can be found if you want to talk. -
"Fast, reliable, and customizable"
Version: Bookpedia 4.4.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
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! -
"Lifesaver! Saves days of manual entries!"
Version: Bookpedia 4.3.0

This app is awesome in the truest sense of the word. It works great with my Canon Alura 100 attached via Firewire but even faster if I enter the ISBN # from the keypad.
The search feature is extremely fast and checks an array (cascade) of sources including the Library of Congress. Being able to "correct" entries to fit our needs is perfect! Now our 1000's of books are once again at our fingertips.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! -
"Excellent"
Version: Bookpedia 4.1.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
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! -
"This is a phenomenal piece of software!"
Version: Bookpedia 4.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
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! -
"Great application as always"
Version: Bookpedia 3.4.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I have been using the *pedia applications now for a year and very satisfied. I had been using Delicious Library for several years previously until I began testing the *pedia apps side by side with DL.
Yes, I must admit I wasn't originally happy with the separate applications but then I realized I have a ridiculous amount of books, CDs, DVDs and games that bloated DL causing it to load very slow. The *pedia apps do NOT suffer from this problem.
I also appreciate the ability to pull information on various items from something other than Amazon.
So, I've tested both and the *pedias win hands down. Thanks guys!
