Adding real Books
Since i have a large amount of real paper books, i have build a little SQLite Database to hold the info for my Books, such as ISBN Number, Author, Title, Series, Cover and most important, in which Bookshelf they are.
Is it possible to use calibre also for this task? How can i add such a book manualy without to have a digital file and where can i enter information like the bookshelf? Is this possible? Last edited by Compere; 09-13-2011 at 12:52 PM. |

On the Add Books Icon: Add from ISBN (instructions are on the form ), You can even set a Tag to apply to these mine: <In Paper Library> |

So it should be possible to have a tag as “bookshelf”, used for the books of the 'print' type. |

Any good scanner that will do EAN and UPC will do. What you want is the version that does a: "Keyboard Wedge" mode (most likely, you want a USB model like http://www.barcodediscount.com/catal...r20007r-ur.htm). What Keyboard Wedge means, is it emulates you typing on your keyboard. The scanner I showed is what is used in many stores. It is fairly rugged, and reads most codes. Avoid the Contact/Flood (you want to see a Red Line vs Overall glow). Been there, wasted money I picked up a Used LS4004 (PS/2 wedge) Cheap |

You may be able to get an app, for your phone that will do the same thing...
