I was imagining that Add books option #2-3 be changed behind the scenes to accept a list of "root folder"s.
No idea if that is worth it of course but it *could* be done without a dedicated option #4, so that itself shouldn't be a blocker IMHO.

I would never suggest adding yet more dialog boxes or menu entries unless there was a compelling need.



Granted that it can be done with a minimum of fuss by pre-sorting the books.
