When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Saya menduga yang kedua, yaitu buku yang berisi aneka rupa informasi yang (menurut saya sih) remeh-temeh, seperti daftar mata uang, daftar ibukota, daftar pemenang Nobel, dslb. Kalau di Indonesia, yang paling terkenal adalah karya Iwan Gayo (ref 1). Lalu, untuk terjemahannya, saya pikir ini mirip dengan reference book (ref 2).
Ref 1:
http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iwan_Gayo
Ia mengumpulkan berbagai pengetahuan umum dan menerbitkan Buku Pintar Junior dan Buku Pintar Senior. ...
Ref 2:

Reference Book.
A book designed to be consulted for specific facts or background rather than to be read all the way through, e.g. Europa Yearbook, World Almanac.
