Gah! Thanks for that - I should've realised.

This displays the dialog that you can enter the URLs in and ignores any selected books.

If you still want to press the button, you could ask for an enhancement to FFF to set the action when pressing the button. Allowing it to be "always add" instead of the current behaviour is what you probably want.

Yes! The little arrow works too! All this time...I should've just asked you guys.

OR

You can also go in Config, on the Basic tab, right hand side, uncheck the option "Default to Update when books selected. Now, even if a book is selected, you add from new.

Bonus!

Thank you everyone for your excellent suggestions - I've got lots of options now.
