Zack Grossbart writes "About 18 months ago I posted the following question to Ask Slashdot: 'How do you organize a home library with 3,500 books?' I have read all the responses, reviewed most of the available software, and come up with a good solution described in the article The Library Problem. This article discusses various cataloging schemes, reviews cheap barcode scanners, and outlines a complete solution for organizing your home library. Now you can see an Ask Slashdot question with a definitive answer."

The range of books available in electronic format is still miniscule. Fine literature, especially poetry and in the original languages, is still badly represented. Academic works and scholarly reference titles are not (and, with publishers like Routledge, never will be) available. If you've been working with mainly e-books for some time now, your taste in literature is clearly pretty dull.
