I use strips of cardboard from various boxes I have lying around. They're about the perfect height to fit between the shelf and the bottom of the pages. They're WAY cheaper and easier to deal with then cutting up and wasting post-it notes. And you can make it the entire length of the book, and then I write on the cardboard in magic marker what the book is, so when I inevitably rearrange my bookshelves, I know which cardboard piece goes with which omnibus.
This is also my preferred method of combating "shelf sag" for my Omnibus Editions / Oversized Editions. As for the cardboard strips not being acid free, I'm going to "upgrade" my system by wrapping each strip with an acid free comic board.

Also, I've become "that guy" who leaves his Omnibus Editions in shrink wrap until I'm ready to crack it open and start to read it, unless it's a book that I've never seen before or one that I've been dying to see oversized.
