The LJBook thing is a good idea, but I wouldn't use it unless I could download it (and preferably inspect the code).
Right now it's a web site that requires you to enter your LJ username and password. You have no ideas what happens to them after then. It might well turn out the LJ book you want... and then hack your account a month later. No thanks.
One possible defense is to immediately change your password after it's done its work. But I'm not going to do that. And even then, you don't know what happens to the information in your LJ itself. Sorry to be a wet blanket about this.
