This may sound stupid, and probably is, but is there some way to digitise source books? I have the player's handbook in paper form, and I've been wondering if I need to buy it digitally to gain access to the content online. sorry if this is a repeat, thanks in advance.
D&D Beyond provides all of the content Wizards of the Coast offers for free including the Basic Rules, SRD, and Elemental Evil player's companion.
In order to access content that Wizards of the Coast has released in their source books and adventure modules, you would need to purchase that title in the D&D Beyond marketplace. There is no method to add purchases you made with another seller of the D&D 5th Edition products. D&D Beyond is it's own entity, separate from Wizards of the Coast and is not connected to your physical book purchase.
You can also choose to purchase items piecemeal. If you're just looking for Eldritch Knight, for example, you could purchase JUST that subclass. Doing that would also decrease the cost of the book itself.
You are also welcome to use the built in homebrew tools to enter in content based on physical books you own -- just do not publish content you did not originate.
