I love this program for one simple reason. The program imports information on kindle ebooks. I have been using Delicious Library for 2 years. The program cannot locate ebooks which is most of my book collection.
Now if I could just find a program that would import software from itunes, I would be so happy.

I've been testing this software as I need an app that includes more collections (I'm user of dvdpedia and need to store books and video games too so don't want to pay for different pedia apps).

Librarian is a clean software, beautiful, easy to use, but from my point of view, it lacks on more options to grab info from the web (it only uses Amazon as search) an is painful when your database is higher than ridiculous 50 mb.
I import my dvdpedia database to Librarian. It was successful including pictures, and was about 1,200 films. When trying to open it Librarian excuses its bad memory performance on a database bigger than 50 MB and opening and working with that database is painful as hell. My iMac is intel, two years old with 3 Gb of Ram and Leopard.

I think it's a needed improvement from Koingosoft because Librarian is great, really , but only if you have a small database is worth paying.

thanks.

Thank you for sharing this useful information, since this is exactly my concern: how does Librarian Pro handle a library of 10'000 to 20'000 titles? If Koingo support could kindly clarify this question, it would be much appreciated.

The REQUIREMENTS above say "Mac OS X 10.4 or later" but the developer's (Koingo) page says Universal Binary and "Mac OS X 10.5 or later." So which is it? I've got a PowerPC w/Tiger. Please update the requirements to Mac OS X 10.5 if that is indeed the case as the developer's page states. Thanks.

Just downloaded it and opened it and it does in fact work on my 1.5GHz PowerBook w/ Tiger (OS X 10.4) despite the Koingo page saying that it requires Leopard (OS 10.5). Don't know why Koingo wouldn't have that correct info on their page. Ah well, just glad it works for me on Tiger. FYI to all of you using Tiger, too.

Well, I filed a bug yesterday and today I find an email with an answer and a new version with the bug solved (there's already a 1.2.4)...So kudos to koingo for customer support and quick and good developers!
Now it would be great if they get my suggestion to move to something like sqlite from the format they actually use...
First class support and very good app

Overall:
A good start (v1) to the already crowded 'collection apps' market.

It is a step up from Delicious Library but a step down from Bruji's pedia apps (which I'm currently using).

Details:
Features:
A few features here that you would really appreciate if you had been using DL (which is sorely missing some of these) like smart collections, multiple ISBN entries and additional entry fields. However there are many missing features here that are present in the pedias and/or DL: iSight scanning, Full screen mode, wishlist, multiple collections, iTunes integration, statistics, multiple download sites (rather than depending on just Amazon) among others. There is the inclusion of a few additional categories not seen in others (Hardware and Software) which may be of interest to some (but for me it didn't make sense to have a listing of what was in my apps folder).

Interface:
Looks OK. But, the blue/white lines on the left panel annoy me a bit (I think mainly because they clash and don't line up with the ones on the right).
It was less intuitive than the competition (it was even hard to find out how to add an entry from amazon without the help files)

Price ($29.95):
Competitive compared to DL ($40) and Pedias ($18 for 1, $39 for 3) but it also depends what features you are after.

Stability:
Didn't crash at all. But did have some trouble doing the imports from Bruji

Summary / Outcome:
I'm sticking with Bruji's apps. Easier to use and more features.

If you were considering Librarian Pro against Delicious Library, I'd probably go with this just for the price and the smart collections, but you'd miss out on the iSight scanning.

Coming from Koingo Software, I'm sure this will improve with time and as such will definitely be one to keep an eye on.

The app's icon makes me shiver, each time -- you know, in that particular kind a way (do you feel the same?).

The default sort is alphabetical by title, which makes no sense. Sorting by author sorts by first name unless you inputed last name first.

Delicious Library import produced errors that scrolled off screen, so I could not see what the choices were (because there was no scroll bar). Hitting enter (which I assume was OK) gets rid of this message, but the import seems to stay in progress forever until canceled.

Undo cannot undo a delete action.
