Having difficulty keeping up with your collection of books? Forget if you own a particular cook book, or if your technical library is up-to-date? bookTome is a freeware application for Windows XP and up that lets you manually enter your book collection. Or, import data directly from Amazon. You can browse your entire collection or only those from a particular author, search for a specific book, look only at books you have read or not read, and create a wish list of books. Plus, print a list of books or details of particular books for your own use, or for distribution to others if you are part of a book sharing club.

Database management tools include backing up the database daily, importing or exporting the database to/from a CSV file, and you can even create a mini website based on your book collection. Instead of just listing books in your blog, show details complete with optional image thumbnails!

Note the software only creates the text and graphics files - you will have to upload the content to a web hosting provider.

bookTome can be downloaded at the following address - note that a portable edition is available:
