For those members who also have their non-virtual Libraries uploaded to LibraryThing.... (or like sites)

Using the Export tool on LibraryThing I've saved a list of all my "physical" books in a rich text format converted it in BookDesigner to an LRF file and uploaded it to my 505. When I'm shopping for tree-based literature I now have a copy of everything I currently own. Favorite authors can be consulted, duplications can't happen and if I own partial books in a particular series of books I can consult my list for those I already own.

It's like taking my own personal card catalogue with me where ever I go.
