Comparison of Internet Book Databases?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what's-out-there-and-how-well-do-you-like-them dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "There have been several attempts at creating a book database like the IMDB. I list several [in the full article] and I would like to know which you like best, and which you use most often. What are the features you find the most useful out of the book databases you use?" "Here is a list of free Internet book databases:

IBDOF - The Internet Book Database of Fiction
IBList - The Internet Book List
Parchayi.net - Parchayi.net Book Database
SciFan - SciFan
FantasticFiction.co.uk - Fantastic Fiction

And I know of only one commercial one, the FictionDB, which is the largest among all the ones that have been listed.

Does anyone know of any others?"

  1. Supplier Databases by Monkeys!!! · · Score: 4, Informative

    Working in a bookstore allows me access to book supplier databases such as iPage. While they may not have the scope of the publicly listed databases, they do include books they haven't been published yet.

      For further info on iPage, head here. There's a free basic subscription which gives access to over 2 million titles...

  2. ISBNDB by Bogtha · · Score: 4, Informative

    ISBNDB make all their data available through a web service as well. That's a killer feature as far as I'm concerned.
