Quick Update: Mobile Apps and Pittsburgh

I thought I should give a quick update/review of the Politics & Prose Mobile App I mentioned yesterday now that I've had a full day to use it. This is a very useful application for both Politics & Prose newbies and members. It's designed not just for people trying to learn something about the store (i.e. location, phone number, book clubs, or events), but also includes useful in-store tools like an inventory search feature and staff reviews. Additionally, it provides links to all their social networking profiles. It's an excellent tool for locals.

In only peripherally related news, I will be in Pittsburgh this weekend and am hoping to check out an indie bookstore in the area. I am open to recommendations! Otherwise I will use those generated by IndieBound and double-checked on Yelp. So far the leading contender is Caliban Book Shop, which is apparently a used shop with a fabulous selection of paperback and hardcover books. Still, any other suggestions are welcome.
