The growing popularity of e-books make more and more necessary to count with tools that allow us to keep our e-library perfectly organized. Alfa Ebooks Manager has been designed to help you manage your e-book collection just as a professional library service would do – it offers you book cards, tools to classify your e-books, search tools, duplicates control, an on-screen e-reader, e-book conversion, and many other features.
On top of its extensive functionality, Alfa Ebooks Manager is, above all, a very attractive utility. From its stunning bookshelf view to the overall design of all windows and dialogs, this tool’s look and feel really catches your eye right away. But the program is much more than just “a pretty face” – it comes with everything you need to catalog and organize your collection, to complete your e-books’ metadata by grabbing them from the Web, to move books from your collection to your favorite e-reader and vice versa, to convert your e-books to other formats, to read your e-books on your PC, etc.
Alfa Ebooks Manager can search for books on your PC and add them to your collection in no time. It supports all kinds of e-books, at least when it comes to importing them to your collection. When it comes to reading them using its built-in e-reader, converting them between formats, or parsing and editing their metadata the lists differ somehow. The most common formats, such as EPUB, MOBI, PDF, or FB2, appear on all lists, though. The list of supported e-book formats for conversion is probably the shortest one, regrettably. more

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.
