So glad to get the 4.4.7 update. Since the PC DESKTOP is where I do most of my updates and I'm usually doing an ISBN search first, I greatly appreciate the fix to show details page first on PC when adding a new record.
The following are relative nits that have existed as such for quite some time. But would still be nice to have resolved in a future release:
PC DESKTOP version:
In the header area the Title and Author 1 display as concatenated with no line break between them. The display area for these elements is very narrow width so there is usually line wrapping like this:
In the Hands of the Living
God (Bouzane, Lillian)
My preference would be to simply add the Title to the details display area (the white background box). My eye usually goes there first but currently I get distracted because I see the description text and think i chose the wrong book from the list. Then I have to parse out the Title from the Author when I glance up a the header.
Another advantage to displaying the title in the details area is that most titles would fit there without a line break.
PDA version:
- the List Series should sort by volume just like it does on the PC version.
I also agree with one of the previous posts regarding the option to have what I'd call seperate libraries. This would be great. Right now I find it awkward to keep the lists for my children and their cousins. I'd love to have all their books (owned and wish list) in a seprate library where I could use the category for each child's name. I'd even be willing to pay extra for the extra library license. Because if most eveyone in my family were'nt all booklovers I'd just purchase and use GiftBox (and I don't now because it doesn't have the nifty ISBN lookup).
Thank you for continuing to support and enhance BookBag so much over the years. As you can tell I'm frequently checking the site for the latest release because I love this product so much.

PS. I also like the updated web site graphic design. Very sharp.
