Info:
With BookDB you can enter all your books with author, category, publisher
etc and print them out in a variety of formats. Why would you need such a
thing? Well, if you're always going to book sales and buying bargains only
to get home and find you've doubled up, take a printout with you! BookDB has
a super-condensed print mode so you'll need a magnifying glass, but at least
it'll save a tree or two.
