Bookimbo VS ShellNewHandler

• DRM-free downloads
  Bookimbo has generally been known for selling audiobooks as downloadable MP3 files that you can keep and play on multiple devices, without being locked into one app or ecosystem. This is based on general knowledge of the site, so check current terms before buying.
• No subscription required
  Titles are typically bought individually, so you don't need a monthly membership or credit system. This suits listeners who only buy occasionally and don't want recurring charges.
• Niche genre focus
  The catalog leans toward genres such as romance, erotica, science fiction, fantasy and mystery, including many independent and small-press titles. Fans of these genres may find books that larger platforms don't promote.
• Previews before purchase
  Audio samples are usually offered, so you can judge the narrator's voice and production quality before paying.
• Independent, listener-friendly model
  As a smaller independent store, it can offer a simpler purchasing experience and sometimes promotions or discounts. Buying here may also support smaller publishers and narrators more directly than a large retailer would.

Possible disadvantages

• Smaller catalog
  The selection is much smaller than Audible, Libro.fm or Google Play Books. Mainstream bestsellers and new releases are often missing.
• No dedicated listening app
  Without a first-party app with cloud sync, you have to download files, organize them and transfer them to your device yourself. That is less convenient than an integrated platform.
• Per-title pricing can add up
  With no subscription credits or bundled plans, heavy listeners may spend more per book than they would with a membership model.
• Dated site and limited discovery
  The website may look and feel dated compared with modern competitors. Recommendations, curation and search tools are likely more limited, which makes finding new books harder.
• Limited support and community features
  As a small operation, it may offer fewer customer support channels and fewer social or community features such as reviews, ratings and listening-progress sync. Information about the current state of the service may also be sparse.

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
