I guess what I want is a good queue, a queue I can trust, and which lets me very, very easily put all long-form content in, including Kindle books and webpages and papers.

But the queue should also be very, very easily reconfigurable. It's not something to be a slave to, but rather something to help you make good decisions.

All my wishing aside: what do you do? Maintain a list? Use an app? What? Any tips that have made it better?

I found a satisfactory answer to this after a long search in Org Mode in emacs. Checks all your boxes. Its flexible, searchable. Just plain text like markdown but with features like todos with scheduling, text based tables, links, formatting etc. It scales across files.

Thanks. I've spent a few thousand hours in org mode. I quite like it for a few things (mostly, TODOs, after some customization). But I've never been able to get it to work for anything else, unfortunately.

Would this be just for ebooks or paper books too?

Mostly ebooks. I have very few paper books any more.
