This worked as it was supposed to but of course now they have the later date instead of the true date in which they were read. I have a custom column which keeps track of this date and I thought if I went into the comments section and updated the date to the true date this info would show up in the custom column, but instead they show up as Not Read. Is there anyway to get these books to reflect the true date instead of the later date?

Hi Nyn
I've been there myself a couple of times. Never found out why, and never really found a good way to fix missing/wrong mbp files.
You CAN edit the date in comments (use HTML view ! ) BUT next time you fetch annotations from K? it's changed to the values in the mbp file on the K?.
Unless I'm way wrong, I think this can only be done by using a plugin/program to SAFELY edit/modify the mbp file ON the K? !!!
Because the mbp file on the K? will always overwrite what we have in Calibre when we fetch fresh annotations, and then modify the book comments.
I wonder if anyone would be ready to do a plugin for calibre, only active in device view, where you could modify the mbp info ?
If YOU have the time, I suggest you create a new thread for this issue only.
I'm not quite sure where to put the thread. Maybe here, maybe in plugins ...
I would like this plugin/program to be able to modify date, and last page read info (location, %) but maybe you have other ideas.
Nyn: good point ! Would be sooooo neat to be able to edit the mbp file on K? instead of paging through the read book all over again.
Gurues: HELP !
Have a nice weekend all
