possible app, or do my googling skills suck

Is there such a thing as an ebook organizer for OS X? Something along the lines of iTunes for ebooks

no, i didn't misread it. i understand what you mean, but that's not what I want nor something I feel like doing - e.g. while the pdfs will be searchable, i'd have to rely on the metadata (and only the metadata) for chm, while devonthink royally fucks up the formatting on some of the txts and other similar apps won't even let you import unknown formats. Might as well just keep it in folders the way it is now. Expanding chms is messy.

While I can sort books now by topic, the one thing I want is something like Yep for all the formats. Sure, I can label a book as being under like, Programming > Java, but what if I wanted all books that had a chapter/section on Hibernate, not only the books with "Hibernate" in the topic? Do I want to go through the hassle of virtually adding the entire index/TOC as metadata for the chms (hundreds of them..)?

I have yet to find a useful converter, preferably batch. The most for OS X that there is is Tubby, which expands chm files..but that can get pretty inconvenient, and I'd like things to be in only one file as opposed to an entire folder filled with files.

sorry, I meant chapter/section on Hibernate as opposed to Hibernate in the book title, or vs. me tagging that book as having a section on Hibernate although at first glance there might not be much indicating that it might in Devonthink (given it won't open chms).
