That alone makes it worth the price.
It also has extensive notes, key wording, ratings and other categorisation tools and it links into other apps like DevonThink. I manage Citations on Bookends and data in DTP.
If I had to nitpick: I'd like to be able to choose what fields appear in what tab - for instance, have the ISBN on the main tab of the inspector rather than as additional info - and I've not found a way to do this. That Inspector pane is not the prettiest either. There: a couple of nits, picked.
There is a learning curve, and it take take a while to get the hang of some of it, but well worth the effort. That's true of all citation managers.
That said, a robust citation manager that does exactly what it says on the tin, with extraordinary support (issues resolved within hours in my case) and well worth the money.
By comparison I've used Sente, End Note, Zotero at different times but keep coming back to BE.

And HUGE praise for Jon at Sonny who must provide the best software support on the planet.
Reference manager no-brainer. If you are still using Endnote etc, run while you still can :-) OK bit much maybe :-) but Bookends is the Biz!

Chances are that you will use this the way I do, for mission critical professional work. If something goes wrong, you just cannot diddle.
Sonny Software responded quickly when I got into trouble. They didn't even get upset that a good part of the problem was me. You need someone like this covering you. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

The absolute killer feature for me is the "import pdf from internet (if available)". Out of 3337 citations in my library 1084 now have a pdf of the article attached without me needing to do anything - and if I can figure out how to use the library subscription to access the PDFs on ScienceDirect etc then Bookends should be able to get many more for me without the need for my involvement.
I still haven't used all the features - not by a long shot - but usability and support alone make this a 5 star app!

One minor critique: some features are only accessible from context menus - they are not necessarily in the menu at the top! Mac users tend to rely a lot less on right-clicks and context menus than Windows users, so some functionality is not immediately obvious when looking through the menus for it. So try the context menu (option-click or right click with the mouse).

I really need to get the linkup with our library going ...

But the 5 stars apply particularly for the outstandingly fast and helpful user support from Jon at sonny software. As a brand new user, no question has been too 'obvious' and nothing has been too much trouble. If only all software and support was like this. LOVE IT!!!

I;m used to creating bibliographies that are numbered, and with having my references within the word document written in with numbers not author names. How do I use bookends to do this?
I've played around with the format manager a lot, but it always just formats int he word documents by alphebetizing the authors, and not using numbers in text...
If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it! I like that this software is better for mac users, but if I can't figure this out, then I don't think I'll make the switch over...

I downloaded a trial a couple of days ago and imported 15 references from my Endnote library. Bookends "quit unexpectedly" within minutes and has done so several times when attempting to quit the application normally. More seriously, it has just crashed while I was simply moving the pointer from one item in the menu bar to the next. I have also been trying out Sente, and so far it has been completely stable. I haven't yet used the two applications enough to make any other useful comments about them.

So, an app can still drag down the entire system. Like back in the 90's! :)
But maybe this is a graphics driver issue? I hear something about a graphics core update coming in 10.5.5...

Also to clarify; a forced shut down and restart of the comp was what I meant.
We have had a few other reports like this, and it is a conflict with some process running on your (her) Mac. The solution is to reboot the Mac in Safe mode (Shift key held down) and then reboot regularly. This should fix the problem. If it doesn't, please contact Sonny Software for tech support (support@sonnysoftware.com).
