About Me

Thanks to all the troubles I had to track books I wanted to read with spreadsheet, and to the menial tasks of having to check books' availability in the libraries. Today we have BookJetty.

I hope BookJetty will be a helpful tool for you as much it is for me as a reader. ^_^

I found you site by pure chance (was googling to see if there's already a function inside of prototype to preload images) and found your weblog and then bookjetty.com. It's awesome! Thanks!

Small user bug bears on defaults - the default search is bookjetty - however, I am here usually for an unusual book that I've found on Amazon. So the first search, I usually get nothing....which is frustrating because I have to remember to click when I login for the first time that day.

Also, default display - I do understand that running all the queries taxes any library system therefore it's not a defaul...but is it possible to remember the users last settings?

Thanks for the suggestion about rating abandonded books with low scores - i'm a little uncomfortable with that given that well I sometimes abandon a book due to lack of time and looming library due dates, so it doesn't seem quite rate to be reviewing it that way. Will put a suggestion topic =)

Re: diff. cover due to wrong ISBN - what I often found when searching was that none of the paperbacks on Amazon US would have the right cover. Perhaps I should have checked Amazon UK/JP? Anyway will give it a try.

Looking forward to graphs and stats! :)

Another request for your consideration - allowing to choose/upload different book covers. The cover that comes from amazon is sometimes incorrect when compared to the version i actually read.

Convinced by vyom to join bookjetty and the library integration is killer. One request though - I have some books which I started but abandoned or never started - would like to mark them that way. Any possibilities of adding this?

Also more stats - no. of books read this year etc, would be awesome!

PS: Yes, the above requests are totally lifted from using anobii =)
