You can tell Reading List to send books on a list to a device when that device connects. Instead of sending all books every time, you would add new books to RL's send-to list when you add them to calibre and let it remember for you.
DoctorOhh is correct, we are working on adding a "Read" checkbox to CC to compliment the already-existing read date. There will be a way to sync that checkbox with a calibre yes/no custom column, handling the "changed on both sides" problem probably by saying that changes on calibre win. CC's read date will be connectable to a calibre date-type custom column. I haven't yet decided if this will handle the both-sides problem or whether the CC date will always overwrite the value in calibre. I expect that these features will be part of the next prerelease cycle that I expect will start in November. General availability will depend on feedback from the tests.

Thank you Chaley, things are becoming clearer for me now. I start to have an idea of the workflow
. I just started to use Calibre more seriously a few days ago and bought CC 2 days ago (while I had Calibre for a long time but I used it only as a tool to convert between book formats, not as a book management tool).
I'm not aware of the 'read date'. Is this on CC's side? I'll check it out.
May be you just let CC freely changes any metadata and sync them all back to Calibre?
I can't wait for the new features.
Thank you again!
