Device: still looking for an ebook reader device
This "myebooklibrary" software looks like it could become something really good. ... I'm playing with it a bit now, ... it lacks a lot still though too.

I'd kinda like if I could enter in a list of authors at least, ... so that it could check filenames and file paths for author names and such, ... and just assume that if a file contains a string that's also in my "authors list," that string must be the author of said file. things like that would make the data entry a lot easier. I don't want to open every single book and type in the author name, or isbn or any other specific data manually. It should be able to guess a few things and ask me if it guessed correctly... like "in this directory, the folder names represent author names? etc"

I'm guessing that collections are essentially tags right? It would be nice if it checked some kind of categorization like "fiction" and "science" and stuff too from the ISBN and categorized them automatically. Maybe that info isn't really tied to an ISBN number though? I duno how I'd find ISBN number for all these books quickly enough for it to be worth trying anyways though. It'd take an eternity to look up every single book in amazon. As it is, I'm not sure how I could manage to do any sort of data entry with it fast enough to really make progress.
