One of the reasons I chose that program was because I can use my barcode scanner to scan the isbn barcodes from the back and then it will find all the metadata details online like calibre does. It was quick and painless and I did bulk lots really quickly. Another feature is the ability to import from spreadsheets, so if you already have a lot done that way it could be a nice easy import.

PS, I think would work ok with an ipod or iphone as the scanner, but haven't actually checked |
I just looked up Book Collector, and it looks like really nice software. One big advantage I see is that it has an Android app (and iThing apps too, of course). I think I'll stick with Calibre, since I use SugarSync to back up my Calibre library, so can check that way with my Android phone to see if I already have a book when I'm at the bookstore, but Book Collector does look very good.
