As I was visiting B&N to get my free ebook coupon, I was looking around and saw a book that I almost bought. Then I had this hunch that I had already bought it, but just hadn't read it yet. It made me think I would like an app to put on my iMac,, iPhone, and iPad where I could keep a catalog of my books, both paper and ebooks. I know there are a couple of Mac applications, but are there any that would sync with a (preferably) universal iPhone/iPad app so that it would be easy to always know what books you already own?
 
I don't know of any apps, but you can enter them into excel and use the sort function.

Alternatively you could set up a database, but it seems like that would be overkill.
 
The iCollect media is what I use. You can also backup your library to their website. I've been using it for my video games for a long time. They even have dedicated apps for books, movies and video games.

EDIT* Here's the link to their iPad app.

EDIT2* Just noticed you want a universal app. While these aren't, you can backup like I said above and import your library into both apps.
