Pretty good - I really would like to see a dewey number catergory.

I think the Pocket Library 1.5.1 is fantastic. I am a teacher and I can see the benefits of using it in the classroom. However, it is lacking one thing that would make it an absolute 'must have' in schools. Is it possible for you or your staff to include a search function by 'person loaned to' to see if they have a book out on loan. I am keen to use this program in my classroom to keep track of books borrowed by students. I need to be able to quickly check to see if they already have a book out on loan before I will loan them another book. If you could include this in your program, you could really market this program in schools everywhere! Any chance of getting this done before the beginning of the next school year? Another program I came across - Librarian v 0.5.2 - will allow you to search by 'person loaned to' but it does not have the 'auto-fill' function that your program has. I do like your program a lot better, but unfortunatey it would not be practical to use it in a busy classroom without the search by 'person loaned to' function.

Not perfect, but the best. Simple program available for avid readers. Haven't seen anything comparable yet.

I really like this application but my only complaint is that I am unable to use the application that allows you to view the books by different categories (e.g., by author, genre, etc.). Whenever I try to use this feature, it causes a fatal error and I have to reset my Sony Clie (which runs Palm OS 5). The last time I tried this I had to reset my Clie and lost all my files and had to retrieve them by performing a hot sync. I would be very interested in an update if this bug can be worked out because this would be a useful feature.

Great product...just what I've been searching for....Two things though:
1. Every now and then it crashes and anytime I try to open a book it makes me reset my Sony Clie. I have remedied this only by backing up my info and then restoring.
2. There is no way to change the category of a book. I would like to be able to move a book from the wanted category to the have category without reentering all the information again.

LOVE this application! The best thing about it for me is that I can create my own categories to sort my books. Would love it if I could find a program exactly like this to keep track of DVDs ... as of yet, I can't find anything that lets me name my own categories. :(

So far, I like this product very much. However, the "beam category," "import" and "export" features are "still under construction" which I find very frustrating and am anxiously awaiting their completion.

Piss poor product, once I've saved info about a few books, whenever I try opening a record it crashes my Palm, & I have latest OS 3.5.3 for my Palm Vx.

One of my most used applications. A great way to check if I have read a book before buying or ordering another. I would love to see a total of all read books somwhere in the application.

Wow! This is, like, the best app for my personal library for a long time! I particularly love the interface as it is exactly like that of the Address Book, so user-friendly and well arranged. What an excellent piece of work!

I have version 1.2 and it is great. Plenty of ways to sort info!
