The only option you have is to post your problem to community forum. Like with any open-source product you may experience difficulties with Calibre support. And Alfa always follows the common standards of metadata structure. The built-in File Manager allows to more and rename files while automatically updating paths in the e-Library. Unlike it Alfa lets you keep your Windows folders structure in the way you like. Besides, Calibre uses to insert own fields in ebook file metadata, that sometimes violates common standards. Especially it's weird in case with audio books, that have considerable size. When it creates electronic library, your book files are moved to calibre's folder. Most users also don't like Calibre's practice of transforming your library structure in windows folders. Thus we keep Alfa easy-to-use and beautiful. We also receive thousands of customer feature requests, but have to be patient and not implement every feature. Every operation is overloaded by options that average user won't ever need. In result working with Calibre is like using a steam-hammer to crack nuts. Finding compromise between thousands of opinions is very difficult task. Every developer in the large community wants to add a small function that she personally needs. The second issue with Calibre is its monstrous and overkill functionality. On the other hand, Alfa that is focused only on Windows-users, uses all these Microsoft's gifts to create really comfortable UI. In particular they can't use Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) - the graphical subsystem by Microsoft for rendering user interfaces in Windows-based applications.

That is why every day we see that one or two Calibre users switch to Alfa Ebooks Manager.

In fact all the best products in the world are created by small professional teams. But communities - is not the best way to create a quality product. Thousands of developers create new plugins, submit bugs and fix them. It's an open source software supported by large community.

So basically, looking for suggestions on which one to use - Calibre Companion, which overall I like better right now but is no longer supported, or Calibre Sync, which is close and appears to still be supported (last update was under a month ago).You can't beat free product in price, but you can beat it in value. Calibre Sync is not without its bugs (mostly the same as CC), but also the sorting feature seems to be lacking. It is very similar and overall very nice, although I like Calibre Companion a little more as it is more customizable. Since that means it may one day just stop working, I decided to check out alternatives, which led me to Calibre Sync. However, it is my understanding that CC has been abandoned, and will no longer be updated. I actually really like Calibre Companion - definitely has some bugs/annoyances, but for the most part it works well and is customizable. I discovered Calibre Companion (also using Moon+ as the reader which syncs reading positions). I have been looking for a universal app for easily syncing my Calibre library to my e-readers (I use an e-ink reader for books and a tablet for comics or other books that require color/illustrations).
