Alfa Ebooks Manager and Calibre are both desktop ebook management software that support multiple eBook formats, including EPUB, MOBI and PDF. Both programs provide built-in book reader/viewer, allow users to organize their library by multiple parameters, edit ebook metadata, enable integration and syncing with eBook devices.
But Alfa Ebooks Manager (available since 2009) is Ukrainian software known for its beautiful and user-friendly interface. It includes cataloging features and ISBN scanner for physical books alongside eBooks. Alfa is better suited for not-so-tech-savvy users interested in aesthetic book library management. It's a paid, but very affordable program.
Calibre (2006) is a free and open-source software supported by Indian programmer Kovid Goyal. It's less intuitive but provides more function, such as robust eBook conversion and editing tool that supports many formats, news-fetching tool, batch metadata editor, multiple plug-ins. So it's targeted more towards tech-savvy users. Unlike Alfa it works not only on Windows, but also on Linux and Mac.
