I am using calibre for both worlds, paper books and ebooks and it works very well for me. I had scan all my book covers and and the text on the back. Put it to OCR to become the book description / ISBN and what ever I need, put all information into calibre. In addition I add some additional metadata columns like book type, storage location and so on. What I learned was, that this program was even more flexible as the most programs I need pay a lot of money and do not fulfils my needs. You only need to think a bit how to use the advantage of flexibility from calibre. The only 2 things what is missing for me is the handling of audio-books and notification/ marker information of my Sony reader. May be, someone will some when make a nice plugin for this.
