Bookcat does not yet support ebook ISBNs. I'd love to export to my Kindle

It takes a while to get used to the interface, given its complexity and flexibility

I've been a BookCAT user since 2002 and have been consistently impressed by the wide range of functions and easy-to-use interface and display. The program is flexible enough to meet the needs of any library, large or small, and has a wide range of features that can be customized by the user. In addition to a very powerful report designer, BookCAT now comes with over forty pre-set reports, such as monthly and yearly spending, acquisition dates, and location. Most useful to me is the Internet download feature, which lets you input a list of ISBNs and looks them up in any of the online databases BookCAT can access. Combine that with a barcode scanner, and cataloguing becomes a breeze.
