Interesting you mention this because I use the precursor to EDB,
forms, to keep track of books. The reason this is interesting is that
it works well with org-mode.
In forms, and in EDB, you can specify the character to use to separate
fields in the database. If you specify '|', you can use org-mode's
table editor to work with the database directly. I find this useful
for org-mode's sorting capabilities, not to mention the ability to
output (i.e. export) the database in a number of formats.
