I know, sounds strange, but ... it is interesting to me!

thank You everybody!

When I was adding my paper books to calibre, I used a barcode scanner to read the ISBNs into a text file (one ISBN per line) and then used calibre's Add from ISBN (click the arrow beside Add books). Copy and paste the collected ISBNs and away it went. There were some issues with ISBNs that were not valid but 95% of the work was done for me.
