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.
