Where I came across the problem was in large books. Imagine a book with 1000 pages. Until you get to page 10 you won't have read 1% of the book and with the percentage read being an integer it won't have advanced beyond 0%. (O.K. I don't know how the device "rounds" values and it might advance at page 6). My Glo certainly shows the book as 0% read in it's own reading stats during the first few pages of some books and I assume this is the reason.

It's probably true that if you get 0% rather than no value then the book has been opened (perhaps only at the title page). Ultimately it all depends on your own definition of what constitutes "reading" the book - simply opening it or actually moving beyond the first page.

I indicate my current reading by using the Column Colouring. I was testing for %read before but now if I use the Current Location and test if it is set it will show books with 0% read but which have been opened and thus have a current location.
