Today I’m announcing BookPress, a plugin for easily adding books (information) to your WordPress based weblog or website.

BookPress adds the following functions to WordPress:

• Items as custom post type
• Item categories
• Item tags
• Item fields for things like writer, ISBN etc
• Built-in Amazon.com linking (associates)

The first public release of BookPress will be in Q3 2011.

BookPress will be free of charge and licensed under the GPL2 license.
