One obvious use for it is to check which files on my Cybook is missing author information. So what would be useful for other people to have? Which information is useful? What is the best way to display it? Since there are so many way to do things I will add features that people find useful and which I think is sensible.

One way I think I'd use this it to build lists of the mobi books I have, to manage choosing which books to load on my gen3. One problem with mobipocket reader is that the library wants to stay in one directory unless I'm willing to keep restarting the program after changing the directory. I want to keep files in other directories to keep publishers different, maybe to help sort by author, or otherwise manage a lot of books.
I think I'd pipe the output to a text file and use it to build a spreadsheet.
Other than LibraryThing, does anyone have other thoughts to how they keep track of large numbers of books, possibly of vastly different genre, in a way that would allow you to quickly narrow down what you're interested in reading out of your collection? To date, I've had all my ebooks in Rocket format, and just used the Rocket Librarian (which allowed my to move things around into different folders and subfolders). I'm looking for similar features.
