My biggest concern in using an ebook library was the time and effort it would require to add information about the books and then formatting them.
I found a software called "my ebook library" on the net. It is a beautiful software. The most interesting thing is that you identify the directories where your ebooks are saved and it will automatically add them to your library. If the book has the ISBN in the file name, the software can go online and get the complete information about the book including front cover shot, authors name, date of publishing and complete title and update the library automatically.
If the ISBN number is not in the file name the software allows you to open the file and select the ISBN number and then it will bring all the information from the net.
The website for the software is

download, install and enjoy.

Thanks for the referral and link. I downloaded the software yesterday and it seems to work pretty well. Some additional funcationality would make this software really great:
A way to manually add or import existing book lists (so i could create a comprehensive listing of my books - both paper & electronic - as well as log interesting books for future reference)
A way to import/export data from the database
A way to print books
A place to write out my own comments about the book (although I can append my own comments to the Description box)
I have been managing my book collection via an Excel spreadsheet, but it would be really great to have something a bit more sophisticated.
