DJOBooks

DJOBooks is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you store and manage your books with the aid of a database. You can retrieve some book details and images from the Internet so you are not going to spend a lot of time inserting data by hand.

Portable tool

You can run the utility directly on your system without having to go through an installation process. In addition, you can store it on portable devices to have it with you all the time.

Place books on a virtual shelf

The utility lets you view the books saved in the database with the aid of a shelf. A double-click on the target book opens a separate panel with detailed information about it.
You can check out thumbnail previews of the books, make the app show small or large icons, or display the books in a list.
What’s more, you are allowed to sort the items in an ascending or descending order or filter the entries by title, author, genre, publisher, rating, or other criteria.

Store books in the database

You can add a new item in your collection by providing information about the title, subtitle and ratings. Plus, you can enter detailed information about authors, genres, and publishers.
DJOBooks lets you write personal descriptions of the books or retrieve the information from the Internet, add custom images (BMP, JPG, GIF) or download some online ones, and pick the format of the book (e.g. magazine, paperback, magazine, hardcover).
Furthermore, you are given the freedom to delete or edit books and automatically retrieve all details about a book from the Internet by specifying the title, author or ISBN.

Extra features to play with

DJOBooks helps you generate lists with authors, genres, publishers and tags stored in the database, perform searches and limit the results by applying different criteria (e.g. title, author, publisher, rating), import collections from DB file format, as well as export data to XML or plain text file format.

Bottom line

If you are looking for a quick and efficient way for managing your book collection, DJOBooks comes with several handy features for helping you accomplish the task. On the downside, it doesn’t offer support for automatic backups and charts.
