So, everyone agrees that dnd beyond is already an amazing app, and it is evolving really quickly with is awesome, but I bought the physical books some time ago, don't get me wrong, the quality and the content is awesome, but I would like to use dnd beyond too, but for it I would have to buy the same books that I already have, is there any information about getting a key or something for the books that I already own? I have all 3 modules, xanathar and the tiranny of dragons books, I would love to use the content from them in the app, but there is no way for me to buy them again
There is no such beast. DNDBeyond and WotC are two separate entities. DNDBeyond licenses from WotC. It would be like asking for a discount to a DVD of a movie you saw in the Theater. Or a discount at the Theater if you showed up and flashed a copy of the book the movie is based off of. However, don't despair! DNDBeyond puts out "coupons" fairly often that gives from 15 to 25 percent off of their products. Just keep an eye out!
Extensively put: There is no way to prove ownership of books. Print numbers, S/Ns, etc, nothing is unique. There is no way for the books to be proven as yours, as the need for identifying each book was not on WotCs mind when printing first started. DDB is owned by Fandom, and while is in relations with WotC, is not owned by them at all. They are their own separate entity. However, you can buy things piecemeal for now, if you can't afford to buy the full books. There are coupon codes that come out semi-regularly, so look out for those. Also, during the weekly dev updates, Legendary Bundles, which contain everything currently released, are given away. Odds may be low, but someone has to win.

Here's a 20 minute youtube video that explains it much, much better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu9ZIFjJIX4&t=1028s

Simply put: No.

Was there any pronunciation from DDB about this?
Yes, pages and pages worth here on the forums. Read one of the multiple threads that have answered this same question countless times.
