Because I'm not Nerdy Enough

I now feel the need to find the Ultimate Book Catalogue System. This reveals me as an organization gadget junkie, the owner of Way Too Many Books, and a web nerd all at the same time!

There's a beeyootiful one designed for the Mac, but we won't be ponying up the bucks for a new machine anytime soon, so that's right out. For PC's, there's LibraryThing, which looks lovely and is web-based (so less room taken up on your machine). Plus, the price is right.

There's also Readerware, which for some reason just doesn't seem as shiny as the others, and I'm not sure why. It certainly has lots of useful-looking features, like a free barcode scanner to streamline data entry. Maybe it's too many extra things I won't use? Or could it be something ridiculously shallow, like preferring one websites color scheme to the other? AM I that shallow? Or am I just cheap? (it's more expensive than LT)

There's a free trial for both. Comments welcome.
