Alfa Ebooks Manager provides you with all the tools you need to organize, catalog, and manage your e-library. As electronic books are becoming more and more widespread, the need for a professional, interactive, and easy-to-use cataloging tool specifically designed for this type of books is also increasing. This XML-based e-library manager makes adding, organizing, viewing, reading, searching, and editing your e-books an easy and rewarding task.
Its professional-looking interface offers you different viewing options that make searching and browsing simple and attractive. You can build as many different databases as you wish, and fill in each of them with different types of documents. The program can automatically search for books in any of your drives and/or folders, and import all the basic data that can be automatically gathered about them. Using each book’s ISBN, the program will also visit different web sites trying to collect as much information as possible about your titles.
The program supports ALL types of books – in fact, you can add as many file extensions as needed to those natively supported by this application. Actually, it is a format-agnostic tool that can store data about ANY file in your computer. If you have installed in your system the corresponding viewers needed to open each type of book, you can even read them directly from Alfa Ebooks Manager. more
Catalog movies and TV shows stored on your hard disk, DVDs, and other sources.

I can't even properly import my CSV data or covers from a previous s/w package and from what I have been able to glean even the paid for version will not support what I'm looking for to read barcode information from a scanner, and get the details automatically. The next version up ($20) still only permits books to be added 1 at a time. Double that if you are setting up a "large" library (200-300 books) and want to use batch entry for the initial process.
The program looks promising, but the restricted functionality ... and the lack of "try before you buy" means I'll walk away and keep looking for an alternative.
