It could be argued that you are making the all that busywork for yourself. When I was still buying paper books I was a fan of LibraryThing which does much the same thing. If you were using that site and adding all that info for your library, you would have been spending just as much time then as you are now.

I have noticed that e-books have gotten much better lately. I also open the epub and check the formatting and the number of books needing attention seems to have shrunk drastically. (Not an argument, just an observation.)
