As an avid reader I’ve tried several other software products including my own attempts at creating a book database. I discovered Readerware in 2012; and while the company offers a 30 free-trial, I bought it within a week of using it.
The interface is very intuitive. The Drag and Drop and Auto Catalog features, you can quickly build a system to reference the books you’ve read or plan to read.
I rely on the search functions when I remember a story, book cover, but not the author or perhaps I’m looking for one book of a series. You control the combinations of queries.
Like every other testimonial here I proclaim kudos to Readerware! I have grown very dependent on this great product!
Now, if you want to take it to the next level and have your own, “if you like, then you'll like…” Export your Readerware catalog as a csv file. Then go to Goodreads.com and import your collection straight into your account. My doing this has helped me discover new authors and great books.
