I love that it's so simple to use and provides so much information about each book with just an ISBN number or title/author combination and All My Books fills in the rest! I haven't come across a book organizer that did SO much!

I downloaded this program when it was free on giveawayoftheday website. After using All My Books to catalogue my collection, I found its a wonderfuly easy program to use. I have tried to use and create databases for my books over the years, also having tried free versions that others have created, yet none are like All My Books! Cataloging my books was an absolute breeze, the program found most of my books via the ISBN number, which was fantastic in saving time! You can tell the program to search the biggest online book retailers for your book information, once found it will input reviews and show the books cover. The interface is easy to use, I catalogued all of my books without needing the help function at all. If you have a book collection and are fed up using or trying to create your own database then I can highly recommend this software.

Forms the basis of a really good system. Great user interface. Very good at locating data on the Web against an author, title or ISBN and then completing the record. Great BASIC home library system at this stage (but PLEASE READ THE COMMENTS AT THE END OF THE DISLIKES SECTION - this product does have potential). Still the early stages of the product. For example, there is no provision for multiple authors (therefore it makes it difficult to store data that can be used for academic referencing), it does not allow one to report by author or to view by author. Given the foundation for the product, it is a relatively straight forward task for the developer to add these features, however, in this early stage they are not there. As I say, great potential, but a little early in the development phase for a comprehensive home library system.

This program is very easy to use. Just enter ISBN (or title or author) and it pulls in all the information about the book. Database lets you sort by any field. Definitely a must have for anyone who loves books.

"Great Product, Esp. For E-Book Users!" I love the fact that you can import your entire e-book collection with the click of a mouse; you can go in and add more detail later individually. I like the fact that you can change the catagories that are displayed, and the data in which to choose There are a few items I'd like to see added, but an email to the software editor through the feedback form was answered within 8 hours, telling me that the feature would be worked on. Overall, an excellent value for the money. I've tried freeware and purchased software, and nothing comes close to this product's capability for handling e-books. With the popularity of electronic gadgets (smartphones, PDAs, and Amazon's Kindle), m... read more >>

"Lacks basic features" Easy to use, especially entering book information Lacks basic features, such as simply printed out a list of books and sorting book by author Many alternatives book DB programs with necessary features, use one of them

"Easy, customizable, complete" All you enter is the ISBN and the program goes out and brings back all the details about the book from an Internet source. Saves a LOT of data entry! Lots of room to add your own notes and comments about the book. And you can add your own fields! None so far. An exceptional piece of programming by a company that is comprised of only three people. When I found All My Books I was in the process of designing my own using Alpha Five. For me, the ability to add your own fields is the key star feature and ha... read more >>
