I recently stumbled upon a pretty cool iPhone App for Star Wars EU fans. I consider it a must have application if you are a serious comic or novel reader and/or collector. If like me you have a large Star Wars collection, it can be hard to remember what novels and what versions of what novels you may or may not own. Did I borrow this book from the library or a friend? Well with this app, you can set the books as (Own), (Want), (Don't Want). You can also view the books by Star Wars timeline, by release date, by name, by series, etc. The App also links to Wookieepedia entries on the books as well as Amazon to order books.
