Excuse my ignorance, but I've never had this problem before. I use Caliber for my extensive digital library and for forwarding ebooks to my reader. Being in the process of moving, I was wondering if Caliber also provides paper library management. Once some applications were present on the linux repositories but, at the moment, I can't find anything interesting. So I wanted to know if Caliber or any of its plugins provides for the management of the paper format. Thank you.

If you search the forum for “physical books” then a few threads pop up, such as this one. Does it (or another past thread) answer your questions?

yes, thank you... even if, having to import data already entered in Zotero, I fear that the matter becomes complicated. In any case, thanks.

Yup! My procedure is to add by ISBN (or by title when unavailable) and then add a 0-byte '.paperbook' to the formats, though you might prefer to use tags or something.

The keyword is Add Empty books.
If you have a spreadsheet
Look at the Import List Plugin: CSV might work for you

Add from ISBN works for newer books (that have ISBN10 or ISBN13)
If you have a bar code (keyboard wedge), that can speed entry. I recommend doing batches of 10-20, resolving issues as the crop up
You can have that Add mode apply a tag eg 'Paper Copy'

There is a plugin for Zotero, which you can install from within Calibre itself.
