Just bought the full version at a huge (yeah, right) discount only to find out one month later that the discount was for the previous version. They just updated to a new version and this is NOT included in the purchase I just made.
But for the LOW price of only $25 I will be the proud owner of the NEW version...

Calibre is better, has updates that actually solves problems. And it's free.

I bought the Pro version after Calibre stopped communicating with my tablet and I learned that this issue was affecting a lot of users with no help forthcoming. I was hoping that Alfa would let me organize my books on my computer just like Calibre and let me send them to my tablet with my edits in place. No such luck. I'm out $30 because Alfa only lets you organize on your computer - it doesn't save and send all the changes you make when you export your books to your tablet. Very disappointed. I really regret my purchase because I'm exactly where I was with Calibre but with $30 less in my pocket. I wish the review would have discussed the lack of portability from computer to tablet for those who want their books organized on both devices without having to make all changes individually on each device.

The Free Version is so limited as to be useless and the Shareware concept appears to be lost on this publisher. How can I evaluate whether this software will meet my need if, when I try to use the features, I get a pop-up dialog which states "Please use the paid version".

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. Sad
