Josh, this app is GREAT… especially since it’s for Mac, but I’d like to tell everyone out there who isn’t frequently using a library to try BookSwim.com – an online book rental library club. There are no late fees so you don’t have to worry about when a book needs to be returned. Books get shipped to your door and when you’re done, just ship them back in a prepaid bag.

For people who can’t stand having a time limit for reading, this should be right up your alley.

This is like having a gas tank on your bicycle… the reason I read books is to escape from the computer. If you can’t remember when your books are due, perhaps you could WRITE on a PIECE OF PAPER and use it for a bookmark. Just words of a former generation print designer who has no web skills, but who remembers when it was exciting to buy extra BYTES of memory for a Mac SE. (I wonder if NO WEB SKILLS qualifies for disability compensation…)

i understand your point, Steve, but I know a lot of my friends and myself included will a) read five or six books at a time and b) consistently put a book down and either forget about it, get distracted by another book or have it lots in piles of peridicals on whatever shelf/table it lays. in that case, the paper wouldn’t work for me — but as attached to my blackberry as i am, i know that a calendar reminder would send me on a wild goose chase, trying to find the damned book, make sure i finish it if the desire is ther, and get it back on time.

i guess this just illustrates how reliant i am on technology to keep me organized, is all. to each their own.
