With BookDB you can enter all your books with author, category, publisher etc and print them out in a variety of formats. Why would you need such a thing Well, if you're always going to book sales and buying bargains only to get home and find you've doubled up, take a printout with you! BookDB has a super-condensed print mode so you'll need a magnifying glass, but at least it'll save a tree or two.
You can also import your catalogue from LibraryThing, which gives you a local, searchable database of your books. Whilst logged in to your LT account, click Tools and then "Export all records as tab-delimited text". Save the XLS file to your computer and then use BookDB2's 'Import LibraryThing' to read all the data in.
Barcodes: You can use any barcode scanner with BookDB2 provided it sends the data as keypresses. (More information on this page - external link.)
I've been asked several times how many books the software can hold. In theory, over two thousand million. (When I was a kid, a billion was a million million. That's inflation for you.) In practice, if depends on the speed of your computer. For example, I have a database of 2400 books and my Core 2 Duo E6700 displays the lists in a blink of the eye. To test larger databases I generated one with 30,000 books, 15,000 authors and 3,000 publishers. It was certainly useable, although there were short delays switching lists. At the end of the day, it's a trade off - if the average database was something that large I'd rewrite the software to make it more efficient on big files. Of course, then it would be less efficient for smaller ones, and as it's primarily a home & small library software I think the current method is best. The license of this business & finance software is Free Trial Software, you can free download and get a free trial before you buy.
