Double posting to ask a new question.
Now that my Calibre and Goodreads are more or less in sync (a few straggler empty books to merge, but the find duplicates plugin will help me take care of those), what's the best way to keep them that way when it comes to adding new books? From what I understand, Goodreads has different ids for editions and the book overall and this plugin and goodreads metadata plugin pull the same "best edition" id unless ISBN comes into play, but the id when adding a book to a shelf on goodreads can be different depending on the edition.
Do I: a) Add whatever edition the site points me to to my massive shelf and sync it, which seems like rate limit abuse and likely to provide a dodgy id; b) Create a new empty book, copy-paste the title and author, and let the plugin add it to to-read, letting it pull whatever id it wants; c) Some other scenario I can't think of.
Essentially, I want the same book (meaning I don't care about the specific physical edition) to be shown as "Want to Read" (or other shelves) and exist in some form in Calibre in the quickest way possible that won't spawn duplicates in either place. Is there some way to get the "best" id from the book's page on Goodreads? Should I make a small temp shelf to sync from?
Apologies if I'm missing something obvious here.
