Readerware made it relatively easy, except for those books that didn't have proper ISBNs (mostly old or book club editions, I think). For those I cheated and did a search on Amazon for similar editions, then had RW search those ISBNs, then manually added a note to each record that this wasn't the edition I owned. Didn't bother me - all I really need is a way of recording title/author.

My only complaint is that I haven't found a way (if one exists) to make it search databases not specified in the original installation. So one is stuck with UK and North America, iirc. Some of my titles were published in NZ, and weren't found in amazon.com or amazon.co.uk, but might have been on an NZ bookseller's site.

I still remember the BoT, shortly after he got his first laptop, chugging all the data into a custom-designed database. Took him ages. This was so much nicer :)
