I decided to to prepare a "bibliography" of my academic textbooks so I could cut & paste the information into essay footnotes, but that was mainly to save time & energy (and present the details in an accepted format). After all, I know where all my books are and what is in them (I think!). The E-books are harder to keep in order, does anyone know a good program to catalogue the files on a CD or DVD?

Interestingly, there's a way to import your amazon purchases en masse into the system. (check the FAQ). The lesson we learn from this is that an ebook website should have the ability to display bookmarks/favorites to share with other people.
