What I do is setup my list to add a Tag when a book is added to the list. You could have a different tag name for each list. I can’t remember off top of head if I allow a custom tags column to be used rather than the default calibre one, I “assume” I did. Personally I only have two lists so having my extra “Pending” tag for books on my “Add to Kindle” list that turns into a “Kindle” tag when synced I’m fine with being in the calibre tags column which is always visible in my views etc.

I have a custom column for Reading List, set up with a type of "comma separated text, like tags, shown in the Tag browser." Then, when I create a list, under the Column Update Options I have:

• When changing this list: Update column for add or remove
• Column to update: [custom column name selected from dropdown]
• Value in column to add/remove: [name of list]

It works well, and I can select lists in the tags browser as well as in the Reading List plugin menu, depending on which is more convenient for the part of my workflow I'm in at the time.
