I downloaded the demo.  It has a lot of buttons, but I'm not sure I would
describe the interface in the way you have.

I always wonder about Bookup.  I'm sure Mike Leahy would be unhappy to hear his
program described in this way. (And maybe he would do something about it, if
that is the wide spread view?) Though I have this program, and almost never use
it because so many of the other program's I have accomplish what I want, I would
hesitate to say that it sucks.  Please elaborate on this.
