Calibre started as a program for the Sony ereaders. Today it is an excellent management tool for an ebook library with different devices. It's definitly better for ebooks than all the other library programs, which are focused on paper books. I have over 700 ebooks and nearly 1000 paper books. Series are often mixed, part ebooks, part paper books. I like the management functions in calibre and I`d like to extend these functions to paper books. Is it possible to create a "dummy" format for paper books, which contains only metadata and exclude this format from converting and sending functions? Of course an ISBN-searching function would be also necessary. Last idea: the paper books should marked in the library in a special way for example in gray letters.
