Wanted: List of my physical books now available on kindle
I'd love to see a way to search my existing physical books to see which are available from Amazon in a Kindle edition so I can switch over to the digital copy.

Inappropriate?Not only would it be good to search for Kindle editions, it would be great if it could also check for an audible.com edition (and other audio versions).
I’m hopeful this will be added!

Inappropriate?These are good ideas-- I'll let Wil know about them. We are in the process of reviewing some new ideas for the next version of Delicious Library.

Inappropriate?Still waiting for Kindle support before I purchase - this has been raised multiple times over the last year. When? -
Inappropriate?Roland- The thing keeping is from doing this is that Delicious Library 2 was originally intended for digital organization of physical items, not digital items. Typically, within any digital collection, there will be some form of organization for it within the device or OS or application that it's on, and it can be redundant to have it listed in multiple places. We go back and forth on this, which is why it has not been added yet.
It's not necessarily feature that we WILL add, it's just something that we MIGHT add in the future.

Inappropriate?Hmm, I can see your point but, as someone who just added all my Kindle books, Steam (digital download platform) games and several other virtual items to Delicious Library I really think this is useful. Being able to figure out whether I own a book—physical or note—at a glance is super useful. As is managing my reviews and ratings on each of these as well.
As the number of platforms I use grows so does knowing where these digital items exist too, did I download that game to my Xbox, iPhone, Wii, through Steam or Impulse or even just as a stand alone, or maybe I own a physical copy? Same issue with the three different comic book platforms I've played around with on the iPhone. It's the same essential paradigm, it's just abstracted, at least, that's the way I look at it. It seems like on some level you guys think so too, if you didn't I wouldn't see my iTunes collection in the sidebar.
Right now I've settled with just tweaking the 'format' field to add these items but real support would make things much easier and the Kindle (or Audible) seem like they would be really popular among your users.
