If someone wants to go the plain-old-text-files route for books, I'd stan for GNU Recutils over org-mode. This is the kind of thing recutils is specifically designed for, where org-mode is merely capable of it by virtue of its kitchen-sink nature. IMHO recutils should be the first choice if you find yourself wanting both a database and a text file simultaneously.
