Alfa Ebooks Manager vs Delicious Library in our news:

2017. Delicious Library restricted to looking up items on Amazon US and Amazon Canada only.



Book management software for Mac Delicious Library will no longer update ebook metadata from Amazon, at least from European Amazon sites. The Amazon platforms in Germany, Italy, France, Japan, Spain and the United Kingdom have all chosen to end their relationship with Delicious Monster this week. Amazon sites in the United States and Canada will continue to function for now (though they are predominantly in English and primarily offer items for sale in North America). Amazon remains steadfast in restricting third-party ebook software and apps from accessing its content (whether on Kindle or in the bookstore). The company aims to establish itself as the sole book provider and control every aspect of how you engage with book content. Remember the 1984 issue?
