Hey Larry,

The main advantages of Bookup are probably the ability to add
your own large comments and then the ability to train against
the tree with mock games (Training mode).

Bookup brings in analysis via EPD files so you can contrast
the opinions of various programs.  The human opinions found in
the books-on-disk are also outstanding but the free Bookup Lite
will show you (and train you on) those books.
