several times I have found myself buying a book I already had.
I find this to be s strange phenomenon. Is the problem that you need a collection manager or is the problem that you are a compulsive consumer? Or perhaps you have a disorder that causes you to forget books that you have read.
Personally, I would get some psychologocal help if I had a compulsive disorder or I would concentrate more on my reading retention and comprehension if that were the problem. I just can't imagine accidentally repurchasing a book that I have already read. Even if this was a problem for me, a collection manager still wouldn't help as I would be unlikely to have access to it while strolling through the mall or bookstore.
Now, if you are about to tell me that you are never without your collection manager because of an ssh connection via your EVDO enabled PDA/laptop, or some such scenario, then I would have to suggest the compulsive disorder as a likelihood.
