The main drawback to Alfa Ebook Manager for me is that it's for Windows PCs only! No Mac or Linux version.

There is no longer any need to replay to @AlfaeBooksManagerFan (used to be codrut_popescu) as he's had his forum name changed and has had his account closed.

I do think he works for Alfa eBook Manager which is why he says he likes it so much. I think it's advertising to try to get us to use it as maybe hardly anyone uses it.

I doubt he works for them. You should realize that just as he has / had extremely strong views on the subject, there are long time members here who also hold extremely strong views on things....

Maybe true in 2002 for XP on the desktop, with Office XP/2002 and SP1.

Interesting discussion... but is Alfa eBook Manager still in development? It hasn't been updated since 2021. The blog is only updated about once or twice a year.

Yes, Alfa eBooks Manager is still in development. The blog shows there was an update in July 2024.

Interesting, because that update does not show up when you check for updates within the application (and there haven't been any updates that show up within the application since 2021).

Possibly that your version only shows free updates and annual updates that are a cost item do not show? They do mention email notification for old versions.

The purchase page mentions this (though another FAQ item says it's a lifetime license? )

Quote:
Are the updates free?
Minor updates, bug fixes are free. Usually, one time per year we release a paid major update. But for existing users we provide big (75%) discount for it. Besides, if you don't need the new features, you can skip the update and wait for the next one.

I believe that it is a lifetime license and the version being offered for sale appears to be identical in versioning to the version I have from 2021.
