I really like the layout of the page - it makes it easy to see everything at a glance, and is easy to print out (unlike Horizon.) What I particularly like is that I can nag myself with daily reminders about books that are due - and that's what it takes to make me look through the piles of books in my office or in my car or beside the sofa for the library books amidst the piles of books I order from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Half com and Ebay. (There's a reason this blog is called Maxed Out with Books.) I also like having my holds status shown on the same page. The suggested book section and the calendars (I never know what day it is) are also helpful.

Of course, the best part is that once you set it up, it keeps going by itself! So a big thumbs up from me!
