Already downloaded and using ver 3.7.6.1 from another giveaway site.
Is this giveaway (older) ver 3.7.5 better or more stable?

I was hoping for a nice Windows audiobook player that can handle chapterized m4b and mp3 files, but none that I tried showed the chapters in AlfaReader. I liked the speed control, but there was no pitch compensation, so the faster speeds sounded so much like the chipmunks as to be hard to understand.
It was slow to load, and often crashed with program not responding errors.
The recently read feature always showed the first book I looked at, no matter how many more I viewed. I'd say this is an alpha release, not a finished product. I did like that I could select text to quote while viewing an epub.

One of the bugs that stops the OPDS compatible data sources working with this program is that it does not send a valid User-Agent: string with its HTML request so sites that rely upon the registered User-Agent stings to determine if they should serve an OPDS feed or an HTML web page cannot determine the correct data type to provide. This sends:
[16/02/2021 00:59:04:705]
GET /ebooks/?format=opds HTTP/1.1
Host: m.gutenberg.org
Connection: Keep-Alive
Which is completely inadequate!

East to install and works very well...BUT...
it requires that you pre-load books/mags into the programme before you read. There seems to be no way to make this programme the default to view supported documents (PDF, E-PUB, mobi. etc)
The resolution of the text is poor, but I did like the animated page turning feature.
Not a bad way to keep all your books and mags in a library, but only if you don't have many.
I will continue to use Freda for E-PUB, mobi etc. and Foxit Reader for PDFs (Both are free)

Peter-UK,
My humble apologies - I was wrong!
You CAN set AlfaReader to be the default programme for any of the supported formats.
Plus---The text resolution increases when you do.
Go to settings and chose your options.

Very lightweight yet brilliant. One of the best giveaways. I'd buy this.

A program window never appears on screen, though it's in the task manager.
I presume it'd can't "read" as in "text to speech".
Does anyone have alternatives that DO text-to-speech?
Thanks.

Peter Blaise, try seeing if Windows built-in reader will do it. Turn it on as a disability aid

My main problem with AlfaReader is that a book that has links on a Table of Contents to jump to other parts of the book is disabled.
Complaints by other reviewers about the resolution of the text is not the fault of the program, but with their graphics card. The resolution was just fine on my computer.
Cool Reader recommended by Peter is just awful. Navigation is difficult, and the computer voice sounds just like Stephen Hawking. Furthermore, it would not open PDFs; just epubs.
SumatraPDF recommended by Lara Mori is probably the better of the three. Links to other parts of the book work just great. I like the sidebar Table of Contents.
You can select and copy text, but you cannot do any highlighting like I can with other reader programs that I have.
Furthermore, to download the installer and the stand-alone, I had to disable my Emsisoft Anti-Malware program. It did not like the website or the downloads.

Tried several formats (epub, mobi, pdf), and they were all displayed well.
The program seems to freeze (to be unresponsive) though for 10-20 seconds for some reason, when opening a en ebook.
Great is it that it can handle several formats.

What kind of preregistration is this if an activation code is asked in order for the application to open?
Save | Cancel
ARIS, just to tell you, I wasn't asked for any code when opening the program.
Save | Cancel
ARIS, no activation code is asked for here at all installed and running under windows Vista with .NET 4.6.2, it apears to be pre-activated. It does crash quite easily especially when switching between viewing and library listing especially if there is a window state change from maximised to restored resizable but no mention of activation code in readme.txt or registered/unregistered within the program.
Save | Cancel
ARIS .... Redownload or turn off and restart PC. README say: The program is preactivated. No activation key required. (mine was slow to install but never asked for code, key) Hope this helps.

Is it any better than free Cool Reader, which i use on both pc and android?
Save | Cancel
I'm sorry, useless app. I dragged bunch of PDF's to it but only one was registered... so I dragged another bunch but only one was registered. So in order to get all my books I need to drag them one by one? Hey we are in 2021.
So I tried to read one of the pdf's.. Text looks like 50DPI at best.
In Foxit, it was sharp as samurai blade.

ad id, I tend to agree. But, I think other than it being useless, it's being manipulative. You can only add 1 ebook at a time in this program, but if you buy the ebook Manager, you can add whole folders. Really not cool if you ask me.
Save | Cancel
ad id, did you look at the OPDS Catalogs many of the catalogs just do not function or parse correctly Project Gutenberg does nothing ManyBooks.net fails to parse the XML at all... found a silly bug if one chooses the OPDS Catalogs option from the 3 bar menu button next to the refresh button to the left of the ALFAREADER word in the title bar... the Left Arrow button signifying the Back operation is left active so if one takes the invite and presses the <- back button it throws an exception "Oops! Something went wrong" and then a scrollable window lists lots of debug related details... followed by an OK button. You have to return the the users library from the same 3 bar menu and choose the "Library" entry.
Save | Cancel
Downloaded, installed, but, when I put to open a file... error.
The same file that I tried to open in this program opened without any problems with SumatraPDF (and Perfect Viewer on my Android, that I use since always to read my ebooks). So, I'll keep Sumatra and uninstall this reader

Lara Mori, here works fine but are you sure "Associate Files" with different files (example cbr, cbz, epub, pdf and more) via Options turn the on?
Save | Cancel
Gamy, first of all, I checked options about Associate files on first launch and tried to open a cbz file (most of my collection are comics or mangas in cbr and cbz format, that I read on my android device without problems). Tried drag and drop too. Also got error message. Then, I searched for an alternative reader to use in PC (when I find SumatraPDF, which worked fine here)
