Dear all,
In the digital age, eBooks are becoming more and more popular. Some of
us may have a few hundreds of ebooks stored in the computer but yet an
efficient method of using them.
A google search shows there is no ready to use ebook catalog package
for emacs. However it is a nice one to have and it seems not very hard
to implement. Therefore, I put the idea here to attract contribution
from elisp gurus.
I imagine the interface will be quite similar to bbdb but instead of
contacts it's books.
Function one:
Retrieve book information from website such as amazon using ISBN.
Function two:
TAG.
For example a book: "Lie group actions in complex analysis"
Can be tagged "Lie groups::Complex manifolds"
Function three:
Local copy info.
Store a link to a copy in local machine which will be used to open
the ebooks.
...
BTW, some applications[1] are using xml to store the book data.
Thank you for your time.
