Just updated covers for about 20 books and connected CC to calibre and bingo! all covers were updated automatically just as you said - so neat!

Now, CC works so well with my eBooks that I'd like to extend it to catalogue my paper books too. I can easily add the required records to calibre but just wondered what the best method would be to distinguish between eBooks and physical books within CC.

Ideas so far:

1) Add physical books to calibre as "empty" .lit formats, (as in 'literal' = physical book), and then view this format data in CC's book data.

2) Add a custom column to calibre to specify format: eBook|physical|both

Any suggestions on the merits of these or other solutions would be most welcome.
