It has a pretty interface, and I really like the author card that allows you to input the author photo and bio.

That said, it doesn't even come close to being as useful an ebook manager as Calibre, which I've used since I discovered it 13 years ago. For example, I read a lot of authors who write series' of books, so my preferred method with Calibre is to sort by series-->series number-->author, in order for the titles to appear in proper series order. This isn't possible with Alfa, which only allows one sorting method to be used at a time.

Calibre allows the installation of plugins, and gives you the ability to apply tweaks (among many other things) to suit your user preferences; Alfa does not. Also, many functions require an upgrade to the paid version, and can't be used in the GotD download. (Had I known this, I wouldn't have bothered downloading it at all.)

I do not recommend buying this app, or even bothering with the basic version. Calibre isn't as pretty, and it doesn't have an author card, but it is the superior ebook manager in every way--and it's FREE.

When I click on "open book file", it asks me to insert a disk.

The file I created that it supposedly saved my books to is empty. There's a default database containing 15 books, a few which I have on my computer, but most of them I don't. Plus, I'll be damned if I can see how to open a book to read it.

Does this handle audiobooks?

Ted Burns, allegedly yes but I didn't have any real audio books to test it with before I uninstalled it as it was too buggy and limited on the PC I tried it on.

When trying to delete books from the sample database it throws an unknown error with a big window of text about it that might only be useful to the developer... this may or may not be a bug as I installed it under 32bit Vista SP2+ patched to last month... should get this months patches installed I suppose LOL. Cannot provide a copy of the text here as the window it is rendered in does not allow selecting the text or copy to clipboard. Program uses .NET 4.5 so is supported by Vista .NET family.

TK, It cannot scan multiple drive letters and sub folders in a single scan session each drive letter will have to be scanned in manually. Threw an error scanning... maybe it doesn't like Vista after all or it's just very buggy.

It seems many features are only available in the Pro version?

Calibre looks similar and has functions...and it's free.
