Manage Paper and eBooks in One Library

Technology has placed book lovers in a most awkward position. On the one hand, you have an impressive library of books lining the shelves of your home. But with the advent of eBooks, you also have a growing collection of digital books. How can you be expected to keep track of all of your reading material across all media? With today's discount software promotion, Alfa eBooks Manager!

Alfa eBooks Manager lets you organize both electronic and paper books in a single consolidated library. With Alfa eBooks Manager, you'll be able to group, filter, and sort your books using multiple parameters, including title, author, and ISBN! Innovative book cards give you a wide array of fields to fill in for each title - author, title, genre, publisher, date, price, you name it. And if none of these fields floats your boat, you can create tags and custom fields to suit your needs.

You'll be impressed by the visual appeal of Alfa eBooks Manager, which displays the covers of your book collection attractively on shelves. Plus, you have full control over the layout, scale, and color scheme of your library, opening the door to full customization of the look and feel of your library. And when you need to update book data, there's no need to manually enter changes, since Alfa eBooks Manager is able to update book data from Google Books, Amazon, B&N, and a multitude of other sites. Same holds true for book cover art.

Lastly, in addition to helping you organize and track your library, Alfa eBooks Manager can also help you to move files between your computer, external storage card, and eBook reader! Imagine being able to import huge digital book collections into Alfa eBooks Manager just by sliding your eBook reader's memory card into your computer!

Norm Sash Has anyone used this and "All my books" and can offer a comparison?
Apr 9 at 12:34pm
Yuriy Loza Hi Norm, I used both :)
Of course, my comparison is not independent as I represent Alfa, but you can check my words yourself.
In general Alfa has better scan, web update, group editing, file management, library representation, search and filter tools. All the features that we liked in AllMyBooks - we have added to Alfa
Alfa.NetSoft Vendor - Apr 9 at 11:25pm
Norm Sash Thanks for the feedback, Yuriy, and also for the openness of identifying yourself as a non-independent response.

Sometimes it is the details in the way that a program operates that can make it easy or hard to use. From your response it appears you are saying that Alfa has all the best features of All My Books, and some improvements in the operation.

I'm certainly not asking you to bash All My Books, but since you have used both would you be willing to give an honest opinion in terms of ease of use for everyday tasks? Or are they both about the same?
Apr 10 at 7:39am
Yuriy Loza Norm,
If your everyday tasks are: find a book, view book data, add new book, than both programs are about the same. AllMyBooks - is quite simple program. But if the beauty of interface and advanced library management features count - I would honestly recommend Alfa ^)

Danny I've been using a Calibre E-book Management. What are the advantages of the Alfa Ebooks Manager?
Apr 11 at 12:07am
Glenn Crouch I've been very happy with this product - shall take the opportunity to pick up another copy for my wife :)

Danny Have just installed a trial version, it seems that Alfa Ebooks Manager my pc system very delayed!
Apr 11 at 12:26am
Yuriy Loza Hi Danny,
Please let us know what is "pc system very delayed"?
Compared to Calibre, Alfa has more simple and beautiful interface and better integration with book sites. Calibre advantages - are metadata editing and file conversion
Alfa.NetSoft Vendor - Apr 11 at 4:11am
Charles Beauchamp Are there (meta) data links possible between Alfa Ebooks Manager, GooPatient and Kindlean?

If not, please consider developing them and also consider developing metadata links between these products and the Gruff Browser - www.franz.com.

If you developed the abiility to link metadata between your programs and with the Gruff Browser you would then have a way to link both patient specific data, ebook+ data with the universe of rdf file info "in the cloud" making this linkage a digital nirvana for patient care advocates. Also consider ways to fuse qualitative analysis notable metadata in the digital TEXT contents of e-books and RTF files with the Gruff Browser and GooPatient. And last but not least create the ability to link metadata and patient data with dtsearch - www.dtsearch.com.
Apr 11 at 8:10am
Yuriy Loza Charles, we'll consider this interesting idea
Alfa.NetSoft Vendor - Apr 11 at 8:29am
Danny @Yuriy Loza,

Unfortunately, it is so. Have the Alfa Ebooks Manager removed and my system was back a lot faster as before! With Calibre E-book Manager I have no problem.

Emil Kucera I need to import more columns from my existing database than you show in the dialog. It seems you do not allow that, nor can I rename or rearrange columns, and the web-based help is rather limited. Trying to add columns to an empty database does not show them in table view. No local help file, either. Am I missing something?
Apr 11 at 3:53pm
Yuriy Loza Emil, what columns do you need to import?
Of course you can't rename columns because that are database fields. You can rearrange columns in the Table view - press Columns button on the status bar
Help is only online - in order to keep it up-to-date
