Oh, no, please don't tell me this!
About some months ago I was thinking of buying All my books. My hubby is using another software for a long time. The problem: They search for books only at amazon.com and some smaller disadvantages. Being German I was so happy that your software also searches in bol.de, as in the other software there were many German books I would have to enter manually, as they are not on amazon.com.
The other software group told us until August 2009 they will also add other places for search. Having not done it up to now, I went back to your website and now I read this thread!
Being German but reading English and Spanish books in original, this is a big disadvantage of your software. Especially with all
the special characters in Spanish.
I read in which languages your software is available and there are many other that have special characters. So I think supporting them, so that the people can work with books in their native language without a problem is a very important thing.
To tell you the truth: I came here to buy your software now, but having read this I will sleep over it before I make my decision. I'm sorry for that.
I tried your software some months ago with the focus on searching for books that were not found in the other software. Unfortunately the book I tried has no special characters in the title. So I did not see this bug.
Please put it on your list of features for the next versions.
My present mood is really sad, because I have the feeling I do not find a fitting software for all my books (and there are really many, over 5000), especially when thinking yours is very close to what I was looking for.
But with problems in special characters.... I don't know. *sigh*
