I don't either so one of my requirements was that I be able to export a list 
of books from Librarything so that I have a local hard copy.  It does a csv 
file, which works for me. I'm going to be doing tags for most everything, 
with a few notes all the way down at the bottom.  What I don't like about it 
so far is that it looks like anyone can go in an edit a book entry - so if I 
was looking for strict accuracy I wouldn't use it.  It is, however, good for 
creating a rough and quick database of my books before I sort, weed, and 
pack them up in prep for a move in the next month.
