Here is the custom column I added to Calibre to display the Goodreads ID.

You can add this to your Calibre install as follows:
  1. Preferences -> Change calibre behavior (or you can press Ctrl-P)
  2. Click 'Add your own columns'
  3. Click the green plus sign on right side
  4. Enter data is indicated in screen shot below
  5. Click OK button
  6. Click Apply (top left corner, green check mark)
  7. Restart calibre (you should be prompted, but it you are not just close calibre and start again)

How you have a column defined to show the Goodreads ID. You can display this in book details and in the list view (or anywhere else columns are displayed/used).

Important to note: This is a read only column. If you want to change the value you must modify the Ids metadata field (goodreads:1234567). This is where Goodreads Sync stores the edition id.

Hope this helps.
