Scanned copies of books
Can I use calibre to manage books that I have scanned in pdf or is it just for e-pub books

Or pretty much anything you want to catalog. One friend of mine uses calibre to manage his audio book and video collections as well as his ebook and pbook collections.

I've contemplated putting my paper books, VHS, CDs, DVDs, Cassettes, BDs and home made 8mm videos in it. But I think there are better solutions that can use a barcode scanner (I have two). So for now I only have electronically readable content that works on the ereaders or tablets. You can in theory catalogue anything in it, you don't have to store the content. So Lego parts, Electronic components, insects etc are possible. Add a column for quantity. You can have multiple libraries and use multiple devices (and track content even when not connected by extra per device columns). |

There is only 1 rule: only 1 of any single format PER BOOK.
You and have every possible format for that book in a single entry, but only 1 of any of those. (there are tricks) |

Yeah, I have multiple pdf files so I name them .pdf1, .pdf2, etc. Don’t like it but there it is.

Enough calibre like. If you give it a folder of well titled files, it's gonna retrieve proper metadata from internet archives. It can do other kind of items collections but i never used it for. |
