This problem has been solved, but thought this the best place to post my experience.
Runnning OSX 10.4.11, pocketpedia loaded on iPhone 3G 8gb. During first synch attempt hangup accord while loading images (covers?). Then mac crashed. This happened two more times (after re-installing pocketpedia, resetting firewall, etc.). Saw hints of beta version of Bookpedia. Installed that. Problem went away. So, fixed!
Things I would love to see in updates.
Sort by author (that's coming I see).
Search of libraries.
Option to leave cover art out of database (reduces size of files and no big deal to me).
Pocketpedia adds a lot to my iPhone. Thanks.

Glad to hear the beta fixed things for you. Your feature requests will all be part of the next Pocketpedia version, which should be ready in the next few days so stay tuned for updates.
