Hi,
I've been using Book Collector to manage my paper books for years and it is an excellent product. When my wife got a Nexus for Christmas I had a good look at Book Collector's facilities for managing ebooks. Unfortunately it wasn't capable of managing ebooks in the way Calibre / Calibre Companion can, so I'm managing my ebooks with Calibre.
Having said that a new version of Book Collector was released yesterday and I haven't had a chance to evaluate any possible improvements that may have been introduced.
I wouldn't dream of using Calibre to manage my paper books and hope that BC will be capable in the future of doing what I need.
However that's from the perspective of someone who's collected books for years and uses a product that does exactly what I want it to do. I'd much rather have all (e)books managed by one product and whilst I can see BC becoming capable of managing ebooks, I can't see Calibre ever having the desire to manage paper.
Once I've had a look at the updated BC I'll post a follow up, if you like.
