      That barely tells me anything because I could never afford Apple tech :/ But from what I read, Apple devices genuinely need an external piece of software to even upload anything there rather than you just copypasting the files, so idk how fair of a comparison it is.

        Meta data manager, file organiser by metadata, upload a subset to your device, sync device metadata back to your library, built-in reader, file format conversion, file editing.

        It’s a whole suite really.

        it’s for organizing ebooks on your hard drive, you can set up all the metadata (title, author, etc) and manage which ones are on your device. it can also convert among ebook formats (though be advised that pdf conversion is spotty). if your philosophy is “all the books stay on the reader not my hard drive”, or if you don’t care about setting up metadata, you’re probably fine just dropping files onto the reader.
