Yes, a menu is a better idea, and it could have other things in it too, such as eventually the option to open up the shelves menu to place the book on a specific shelf rather than the short list. As it is now, should you enable the shelves, you will find (unless you find something I could not) that the only way to add a book to a shelf is to go to an edit shelves page and then page through your entire list of books until you find the book you want! You cannot be AT a book for some other reason and add it directly to a shelf. (Of course the problem of finding the shelf given the book also arises, but it should be handled better -- with a search in shelf names for example).
Dragging anything on a system like this is really a pain and other techniques are almost always to be preferred.
