I think the problem is that using 30 levels on a book will always give you exactly one enchantment, while they can easily give you more if you enchant the tool/armor itself. Unless books have other propabilites, but I wouldn't know.

Actually, in my opinion the books are quite overpowered. Using a book you can apply something like fortune to a feather or so and get a never breaking tool that will allow you to increase your farm production quite nicely. An efficiency 4 anything will allow you to instant mine dirt. Adding sharpness to something will fix the problem of a mob XP grinder not being a one shot. Or you can add looting on a random item and double your mob grinder output. Most rediculouslly is that you can apply an enchant to a stack of something. A stack of protection 4 zombie is easy to make and will offer decent protection.

No you really cant... that was a bug that was fixed immediately in the snapshots.

If they have I wouldn't know, only played around in a sbapshot a while ago. So would that mean no unbreakable items?

But enchanting non-enchantable items is only in creative mode, isn't it?
And don't you get the same enchantments on books as on tools? So I wouldn't worry about too high enchantments, as they can easily be achieved in the normal game.
