bookTome can display books in a number of ways. You can view books by author, series or category, as well as by the reading status. Books in the current view can be displayed in a detailed grid or using thumbnails. Once selecting a book, all of its information is displayed at the bottom of the screen. You can also bring up additional information about the author of the book.
* Adding Books
Adding new books to your library is easy. Using the web services feature, much of the information can be downloaded directly from Amazon. The rest of the information can be added in an easy to use dialog that includes auto complete functionality. The history of all changes you make to a book is also stored. You can also assign tags to describe and categorize each book and rate each book once you have read it.
* Searching Books
Finding books can be done in multiple ways. You can search through all fields or a specific field using the quick search box at the top of the screen, or a detailed search in the search mode. You can either search for specific text or for blank values. Alternatively, while viewing a book you can right click on most fields to search for that value. The Wish List also supports searching.
* Wish List
You can also keep track of books that you want to get in the future, and follow them through all of the applicable stages, including unreleased, available, ordered and shipped. You can also keep track of their category and ISBN's. You can then easily add them into your database once you have brought them.
