Hi,
Core data would simplify your life if you wanted to
store all of your data in a persistent database on
your computer rather than just using it as a conduit
to move text from your browser to your iPod, possibly
useful for your future enhancements.
If your just moving data straight away it may be
useful to cache info about lots of books in your app
before moving it to your iPod but an NSDictionary
would probably be easier.
