Yes, after posting I went back and looked as well, and I believe my issues last time were a result of "workflow block" - I wasn't able to see the clear way from Point A to B due to my own convoluted preconceptions and procedures. I recently decided to clean house, and created a new library containing only the books I now feel I will actually read. That actually got my "useful" book total below the 4-digit threshold (not by much, mind you) and allowed me to use a tighter, more simplified method of starting over.

In terms of exactly how many calls are being done for the various scenarios you mention, I couldn't tell you without trawling through the code. Off the top of my head, linking a book is one call per book. When you add a book to a shelf and bring up that dialog, there will be one call per 200 books already on that shelf just to validate the books you are adding are not already on there. Then there will be one call per book to actually add the book to a shelf. For the upload tags as shelves functionality, there will be one call per tag (shelf) per book. So it all adds up pretty quickly.

This is very helpful. You are correct, I just checked and there is still the "one request per second" rule. I also reviewed the discussion thread on GR (you know the one, you were in it) to remind myself of their responses at that time. I did some quick calculations, and based on the books I did yesterday, my current method seem to keep my average pretty well below the "calls per minute average" red-flag threshold. (I tend to get sidetracked by Words with Friends between batches, that helps.)
