From Physical Books to a Digital Library: Introducing the Book Barcode Scanner & EPUB Generator
My family has a lot of books collected over time and so I wanted to track all the physical books we have. Although there are a few good self-hosted physical book management out there, but none are quite as user-friendly/nice to look at as some of the ebook management applications. In particular I found Booklore which was close to perfect - but it couldn’t handle bulk importing of physical books. There were some some references online to using placeholder epubs to represent physical books - but nothing which described how to do this (or a way to do it in bulk).
