In very rare cases, if your can't find a book cover in the Internet, you can use a common scanner or phone camera to create cover image and also add it to the database. If a paper book doesn't have ISBN bar-code, you can add it manually.
Then (using the Web Update tool) you can automatically retrieve book covers and metadata for all these books, and see your physical library on your screen. Then you import this list into Alfa Ebooks Manager (using CSV import tool). In result you'll get a list of ISBN numbers. Using your phone you can quickly scan all your paper books.
You don't need to by a dedicated hardware device, but instead you can use one of mobile apps, that are available for iPhone and Android phones. To quickly add paper books to electronic library, you can use ISBN scanner, because almost every physical book has an ISBN bar-code on its cover.
