Bookup is the only piece of commercial chess software I own, I have version 1.01
for Windows. I cannot imagine that Chess Assistant could do anything like bookup
does. The tree function I see from its demo is cool but it is not the same. They
complement each other and both can communicate with epd and pgn. In a way,
Bookup is unique. IMHO, it is a bit expensive but if you really are into either

1) Serious study of openings
2) Correspondence chess

You will **LOVE** it. I think that is a wonderful complement for any Chess
database. IMHO, if you are a pro-player or a opening theoretician you will be a
fool if you do not have it (along with a strong engine and chess database, of
course). It is the _best_ way to store you own analysis and conclusions.
Now, it is useful for a lesser player? I do not know. I guess it is for its
training mode.

Regards,
Miguel
