Selecting several items is now a lot more cumbersome and time-consuming.

I don't know which OS you're on, but on Windows and Linux you can select multiple books and ranges by combining Control/Shift and mouse click. I'm not at my Linux box right now (I do this by motor memory and don't remember the keys), but on Windows it works like this: Say you have 7 books:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
Important: Never move the mouse without releasing the left button.
To select 1 and 3: Click 1, press and hold control, click 3, release control. Done (but it seems you know this already).
To select 1,3-5 and 7: Click 1, press and hold control, click 3, press and hold shift as well without letting go of control, click 5, release shift but not Control, click 7, release Control. 1,3,4,5 and 7 should now be selected. To select additional ranges, use shift as you did for 3-5.
This is a lot easier than it sounds, after a few tries it's quite intuitive. Hope this helps
Edit: I suddenly understood that I probably misunderstood your complaint. Oh well, I'll just leave the instructions in case they are helpful to someone. I do agree that the ability to drag'n'drop a book from the library to the *same* library seems a bit... superfluous
I guess there is a technical reason for it.
