Maybe the subject has already been covered here, in this case, I apology.

Otherwise, I'd like, before I start, to be sure about the way to do it.

Firts, is it a good idea ?
If yes, how to do it ?

What I think now is :

a-Create a custom column with "ebook" or "physical book" as labels, or even informations about where the book is (eg. sleeping room, dining room, big bookcase etc)
b- Create an empty book for each physical book I want to manage with Calibre.
c- Fill in the informations about the physical books, including the custom column.

Did I miss something ?
Any pieces of advice ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Antonio
I don't take it as far.

I simply have a tag <In Paper Library> that appears as part of any book that:
1) has an E-version
2) Is an empty book version (could get an e-version added later )

For the Location, I suggest a Text colum of Fixed values (prevents random variations ). You can always add locations later (be wary of changing any location name that is in use)
