Palm OS comic book collection software?

December 8, 2007 10:05 AM

What Palm OS program can I install to keep track of my comic book collection?

I just bought a Palm Centro yesterday. I'd like to be able to refer to a listing of comics on my phone when I'm browsing through the bargain bins because I always end up buying duplicates. I don't have an existing list of my comic books, so I can start data entry from scratch. I'm synching with a computer running Windows XP. I am somewhat technically savvy, but have never really used database software before, so I don't know where to start.

Certainly some fellow nerd has done this somewhere, but Google results are overwhelming and pretty much useless. Any suggestions?

There's always Documents To Go and Excel. The best database software I had for the various Palm devices I carried around was ThinkDB, which I believe is now SmartList To Go from DataViz.

As a record collector I feel your pain, but I haven't come across a solution yet. I've been wanting to write one for some time, though, so maybe I should get on that!

ListPro would probably do it.

Best answer: I have been using HanDBase and it works really well for me.

Response by poster: Thank you for the suggestions. I downloaded a trial of HanDBase and, minus some minor snafus, I set up a custom database and it's working pretty well so far.
