See the deal here:
http://www.mupromo.com/deal/593/bundle
Mellel edu version currently stands at $30, so that leaves Bookends costing approx. $20 in the bundle. (I'm ignoring the rest for simplicity.) Thing is, I'm just a software engineering student getting through basics, so far have never had a zillion citations to manage, and nothing of mine has been published anywhere. If I bought Bookends now, it would be a gamble of sorts where I assume I'm going to need it soon (like in a year), that the price will be significantly higher if I buy later, and that new versions with a pricetag won't come out in the meantime.
So, what are your thoughts on Bookends? How long does your paper need to be and how much citations does it need to contain before Bookends is a significant help? How does it compare to the tools associated with LaTeX? (I'm not intimately familiar with these, but I've used LaTeX a couple of times on group projects, and sort of like it - most of all getting to work in a text editor.)
