RE: "the tagging".......sorry, that was a typo. I'm not using tags whatsoever...in any way. I'm only working w/ collections. I meant I had already created the To Read List values in the Kindle Collections column. Since the plugin detected both the column and the To Read List value, I just assumed it could read it into the Default list.

Oh, I wasn't so much responding to any perceived criticism as I was simply explaining why some things make more sense than others, and of course, taking the opportunity to praise the software developers here.
Actually, I'm using "tags" to mean "an assigned text value used for the basis of performing an operation". LOL So in other words, we were both using "tags" to mean something other (or more than) just tags. To me, they are all tags, just in different places for different things. In this case, by "tags" I was referring to the text values that are the names of your collections - "to read list" and so on that are in your Kindle Collections column. I think that means we're on the same page, so I guess in my previous response, replace "tags" with "name of collection and/or list".
You should have seen me the first time I used (an older version of) the Reading Lists plugin. I didn't really understand the (now extinct) tag limitation at that time, and I ended up with books tagged one way, but on a different list. It was totally my own doing, and by the time I realized what was happening, Kiwidude had updated the plugin so that it did what I thought it was already doing.
Edited after seeing your edit: Ah, so you're using the Lists for somewhat different reasons than I am. That could have something to do with the fact that I'm an ebook hoarder. I don't even remember when I only had 300 books. As a result, my library needs strong-arm tactics.
I do hope others find this helpful. Sometimes I just feel like I'm far too long-winded and I'm taking up too much space with my replies.
This post is no exception. I talk too much in real life too sometimes.
