2023. CLZ Books allows to use multiple folder levels
In the grand tapestry of book cataloging, the team at Collectorz.com has crafted an update for its CLZ Books app that is nothing short of revolutionary—at least, as revolutionary as organizing a digital book collection can possibly be. Imagine, if you will, the joy of finally being able to sort your virtual shelves with not just a single layer of folders (as if you were some sort of single-minded barbarian) but with multiple levels of folders, mind you! Where once you were restricted to choosing between Author, Publisher, Subject, and Location folders, you are now free to stack and nest these folders like a Russian doll of bibliographic order. Want to see all the works of a specific Publisher and then organize them by Author? Done. Craving a look at Publication Year sliced by Author? It's yours! This latest version even arrives with a suite of pre-packaged, multi-layered folder favorites—Publisher/Author, Publication Year/Author, Purchase Year/Store—to satisfy even the most refined cataloging whims. With just a quick tap on a folder favorite, you can navigate from a Publisher to the corresponding Authors, and a further tap will reveal books by that delightful combination of Publisher and Author. It’s organization on a galactic scale, wrapped up in a few cunning clicks.
2023. Book Collector adds 3 completely new data fields and 4 new sync fields
The new version of Book Collector (v23) has added 3 completely new data fields and 4 new cloud-sync fields.

Also, you can now finally sync these existing Book Collector fields through the CLZ Cloud to the CLZ Books mobile app (Cover Artist, Foreword Author, Ghostwriter and Box Set). The similar updates have also been released for the CLZ Books mobile apps and Book Connect web-based software so all 7 fields now nicely sync between all of them.
2022. eBook management software Collectorz adds vertical book cards
Vertical Cards, recently introduced in Collectorz.com Book Collector mobile apps have become instantly very popular, so now they are available in all five Connect flavors too: the Card View. And because Connect already had a view called “Card View”, the developers renamed the old view to “Horizontal Cards” and named the new one “Vertical Cards”. Here’s how to switch to new “Vertical Cards” view: on the toolbar above your collection list, click the 2nd button from the left, called “Vertical Cards”.

Book collection software Collectorz.com has added some new features. In the Cover tab of your Edit screen you can now paste an image from the clipboard.

In addition to existing “Year” folder options (e.g. for “Added Year”, “Purchase Year”, etc… ) the developers added two more “granular” folder options. You can now folder by “Month” (e.g. “Purchase Month”) or by the exact day (e.g. “Added Date”). These Month and Date folder options are now available for all your date fields. The final and smallest tweak: the “Move to Other Collection” command is now available for one specific items, from the toolbar above its Details Panel. The developers also did a small re-design to the screen that pops up for selecting which collection to move to.
