Books are the background to our life (for those who read). Unlike movies, which leave an impression for a few days, or catchy songs, which linger in your mind for a couple of weeks, a single book can fill your thoughts for a month or longer - and everything that happens in your life during this time gets tied to it. Therefore, it's easy to reconstruct your own history from the books you've read in Memo app.
But books aren't just the background - they also shape our personality. There's even a saying: "You are what you've read." We strive to become like the characters in books, follow their emotional and behavioral patterns. If you compile a history of the books you've read and review it at a glance, you'll surely see how books have influenced your life, your decisions and your character.
And of course, we're not just talking about fiction books. Books are also a source of knowledge. Despite the internet and YouTube, students, specialists and professionals still read. Because this format enables more relaxed and in-depth topic exploration and the optimal sequence of study (if the author is knowledgeable enough, they will choose the optimal route for you).
Of course, there are specialized programs for creating personal book libraries, such as Alfa Ebooks Manager. They create a large card for each book with numerous fields (author, publisher, year of publication, series, ISBN, volume, genres, tags, etc.). This allows you to organize and search books by multiple parameters, create lists and share them.
These programs can also automatically update book metadata from websites like Amazon and Google Books, convert formats (EPUB, MOBI, PDF...), sync books with e-readers, open books for reading and take notes.
Indeed, these programs are very useful for collectors who have a large library of e-books or paper books. However, most people don't collect files, much less paper books. They simply need a visual representation of the books they've read (and perhaps the books they'd like to read).
Memo app is perfectly suited for this task. Its simplicity and high speed (since it doesn't require loading a large database) make it the best choice for creating a personal book library (at least its first version). Furthermore, Memo app allows you to prominently note in the book description where, when, and on what device you read it, who recommended it to you, as well as your impressions: which character stood out to you, what mood the book evoked... In my opinion, this is the most useful/interesting information about a book (rather than its metadata).
Using the Memo app search, you can quickly find a book by title or all books by a single author. And of course, it's convenient that you have books, movies, music, games, medical records and travels all in one app. After all, all of this is our Memories.
