Thanks. I'll check it out.

I need to gather all the free Ebooks I've got onto a single drive and
sort them out. Then burn a few sets of CDs or DVDs to archive them.

I've made a dent in inventorying my printed books, but more just keep
showing up. I went to a flea market a few weeks ago. One of the dealers
gave me several large boxes of books and loaded them into my truck.

I have tried some of the cataloging software, but most are poorly
designed. Does anyone have any recommendations, other than just dumping
everything into a database program? Somewhere I have a database
development system. Maybe I should dig it out and make my own? I would
like separate fields for publisher's book ID, and both forms of ISBN.
Maybe throw in a field for the L.O.C. number, as well. Then you can
create the report structure for various search formats. I did a parts
database about 25 years ago on the Commodore 64. I used + and - to move
forward and back in record order, @ to jump to a particular record
number. You could perform any function to a record while it was on
screen, unlike others I'd seen where you had to find the record, go to a
different program to edit, and another to print.

I have both a 250 gig and a 500 gig harddrive that a member here VERY
kindly sent me (I cant remember who you were (stoke moment..sigh)..but
THANKS every so much). The 250 gig drive is tucked away on my desk
hooked to a USB port and contains portions of my library. Probably 35-50
gigs worth.

Ive been trying various "library" packages, Calibre, etc etc..some are
pretty good, some suck.

Ill pass on what I find in a week or two, with comments and suggestions.


I've also considered putting a comma delimited text file on one of my
free web spaces.
