I think it's a great idea.  Even just the merge portion w/o the web is a
great idea.  I've been wanting the ability to merge, especially though the
IR port.  My wife and I both have palms and keep the same db's of our books
and movies, it would be great to be able to update them seperately and then
merge them together.  I include a 'own/want/loaned' column so we also list
ones that we don't have but want, if you don't already have that in the
plan, it would be a good addition.
