Bookpedia 2.2

by

A new release of Bookpedia, version 2.2, came out a few days ago.

Bookpedia is a book cataloging software for Mac OS X. To save you time and effort, it retrieves all book information from the Internet and lets you arrange your books in any which way you like. Using Bookpedia comes naturally thanks to its familiar iTunes style interface. Bookpedia is written exclusively for Mac OS X, making it fast and efficient.

To retrieve information about a book you have various options. You can enter a keyword, the book title and/or the authors name into the Search feature, choose the locale where you want to search (any Amazon site, the Library of Congress, saxo.dk, AngusRobertson.com, or Alapage.com) and hit Search. Once you have found your book you can look for even more information using the Library of Congress and isbn.nu or any of the other sites again. You can also search by scanning the UPC or entering the ISBN into the Search window.

Requires: Mac OS X 10.2+
Cost: $18 USD

Caboodle 1.0b2

by

A beta version 1.0b2 of Caboodle from Dejal Systems, LLC has been released. Caboodle allows you to Collect random snippets of text or images. From Dejal:

Everyone comes across information that they want to refer to later. Maybe gifts you’ve received or sent, product serial numbers, recipes, directions to someone’s house, a photo of your pet, or anything else. Caboodle is a tool to help store and organize such random bits of information.

You can arrange the items in an outline-like hierarchy, and include both structured fields and free-form text and pictures in each entry, along with web links, lists, tables, and more. The entries can be searched, and the Services menu is also supported, to quickly add or output an entry.

Requires: Mac OS X 10.3.9 or better.
