BookReview clients
Following my review of Delicious Library, I decided to have a look at some other library managers: Books and Booxter. ANd I am mainly interested whether any could qualify as an BookReview client. Well Booxter does not qualify, it has no function to create any HTML or XML file.
Books does a lot better. It is possible to export into XML and HTML and various other formats. If only a real publishing function is available and an updating function, then it would qualify. In Books I also miss the list-pane, as is found in many other MicroContent clients. It is not really a 3-pane app. For Dutch language books Booxter however performed better. Alas it is not really clear what it is doing.
I still like Delicious Library best. If only they would support some publishing and international book databases. I guess I wait a while before I buy this one. There is an Export-function in Delicious Library, but I can not use it in my evaluation version.
