thanks for your comments @ownedbycats, @Quoth, and @Comfy.n

as I said, a format "paper" is not such an issue - I don't want/need a file for the book, it would just be a convenience when searching.

What I am aiming for is not having to manually enter the ISBNs from the books I want to add (usually more than 5 at a time) to the "Add from ISBN" dialog. Even scanning the ISBNs on my phone, adding the numbers to an evernote note, and then pasting the scanned list to the Add from ISBN list is pretty tedious.

As for Amazon, I'm not picky, another source would be fine with me as well.

But I will give a try to a combination of your tips, maybe if I add the .paper files and then go to Amazon (the only site that has a large # of English books in Austria) and get the ISBN. Maybe that is faster.
