As for the plugin, I downloaded it months ago but never got it to work the way i wanted it to, plus I don't know how to start over with it completely from scratch so I gave up. At this point I have approx 1000 books, so I don't know that I want to fool with it.
My now-restructured library has 900, and I thought the same, but here's something interesting - do you use the Goodreads metadata plugin? If so, the Goodreads ID is probably already populated for a lot of books, which means that those books don't need to be manually linked. That saved me a lot of time - over 400 of my books already had GR IDs. The rest I just took my time, and have been doing it over the last few days. Let me know if you ever decide to do it and I can give you some more tips. I don't know if you recall, but I tried using it before and it didn't work for me either, but for some reason things "clicked" this time.

I did, however, export my goodreads shelves before emptying them just to be safe. (Not that import ever works like it should if I needed to do that.) It was just easier to "start over" than to try to sync what was already there.
