I started a project for myself to download and catalogue all the books I had purchased from Audible. There are several hundreds. I started a Calibre library to house this collection, but got frustrated because I wasn't able to pull metadata from Audible, so had to classify them all as various paperback versions. What's the point of obsessively cataloguing a collection if you are using the wrong information.

So that's where Alfa comes in. It supports audiobooks natively and pulls data from Audible. That's the main reason I bought it. The full version is pretty full featured, and support seems responsive. I asked for an "open to file folder option" in the forum and had it less than one week later.

However, after having worked quite a lot with both software, Calibre still has the upper-hand when it comes to bulk operations. If you have a massive ebook collection, you are probably better off with Calibre.

Alfa does have a (very) bare-bone free version you can download, if you are curious about what it does.

I can confirm it does import from various sources
