I also have to say CC is growing on me in the past 24 hours because it's actually working as long as I transfer my library in small batches, I just feel the program is a bit lack luster on features and design.Description of Calibre Companion Ĭalibre Companion updated on Saturday Octois the Books & Reference for Android developed by Samuel CohenĬalibre Companion (CC), recommended by calibre developers, is three applications in one: It does however let you set up your book organization/folder structure however you wish (though that could be the cause of the performance issues). While it is an alternative, I agree it is not a very good one - and when I tried it before it did not handle a large library very well at all. One could also argue that having a profitable piece of software, and open source don't go hand in hand, both have pros and cons (though I always fall more into the open source / donation camp).

No way I would install something like that on my computer.Īnd it's amazing how many times it's been trotted out here lately, from brand new members.Open source is always better which is why I use Calibre.

There is NO info about the company behind it, and no reviews that potential users can read. Alfa only runs on PC's, costs $30 I think, and updates aren't free.
