We(BookFusion) are almost there and will have a new platform launched in Q3 2020 and then a native desktop app in Q4. We know there are gaps and improvements required and are actively working on them.

I am looking for a software, for windows (version is probably irrelevant, for the functionality is kept simple), which should do:
  • list all books in a directory or a directory-tree, preferable showing the book cover, author, titles, maybe year
  • searching for metadata (author, title, edition, year, language), tags, fulltext
  • optionally order them physically in that tree (create and populate said tree)
  • accessing the book means to give the opportunity to copy that epub file to a place of choice (like downloading)
Calibre is close, BookFusion even close (but it goes outside the system), other projects are dead or mobile (IOS/android).

It should not:
  • edit books
  • delete books
  • store, read/download etc. to/from outside the system (computer) - no "clouds", no nothing.

It is completely irrelevant and probably not wanted to manage portable devices - it's enough if it "downloads" the epub from the collection to a directory of choice. All my ereaders can organise the books by themselves.

Is there such a wonder software?
Thank you for signing up and trying BookFusion. Most apps and projects in the eBook space die since the revenue model is unsustainable. The best way for readers to see the platform or solutions they want is to donate to projects or pay for a subscription. BookFusion does not sell ads nor users data and so there will be a nominal fee even without using cloud services.

We will be launching an updated version later this year that will not require you to use the Cloud service. You will have the ability to import and read your files via OPDS and other protocols between devices.

Please let us know if you have any additional feedback by completing this survey
