I have about 3500 books in Goodreads, having read 1500 of them. I constantly import their library export .csv to update the shelves. I used to have to split it up into 100 line chunks and even then there were an average of 10 books per chunk that had to be manually matched. It was always the same books too. Either the title was in title sort so the leading "The, To, A, Of" would be dropped and the books wouldn't be found, or the author's name wasn't the same as the one in Calibre (multiple authors in Calibre but GR only lists one). There were so many books that would never match.
Last night I imported the entire 3500 line .csv and it matched every single book.
I am looking forward to importing my Amazon book list that I get from the KindleSync file that is in the Kindle folder cache.
Whatever was done to improve this plugin has had a great impact on my ability to update my library.
