One of the reasons I chose that program was because I can use my barcode scanner to scan the isbn barcodes from the back and then it will find all the metadata details online like calibre does. It was quick and painless and I did bulk lots really quickly. Another feature is the ability to import from spreadsheets, so if you already have a lot done that way it could be a nice easy import.

PS, I think would work ok with an ipod or iphone as the scanner, but haven't actually checked
Barcode wedge scanner (Symbol 4004) work great with add from ISBN.
Over 900 books added that way (batches of 10-20 to allow resolving look-up failures.)
