Personal Information Management

This is an Emacs package for managing reading lists in Org Mode.

Doesn’t work very well:

  • Claims to support Amazon, Goodreads and Open Library URLs, but Goodreads doesn’t work and Open Library only works when you use the Legacy Books API JSON URL.

  • Inserts the URL provided as a properties field which doesn’t look nice when exported.

  • Doesn’t insert the cover anywhere.

  • You can insert books via ISBN, but this is implemnted in terms of Open Library, with the aforementioned problems.
