Why don't you just use the Sort by Most recent listing of books to find the books you were most recently reading? If you click around your books and mess up the order, then that's when people use a "__Currently Reading" collection to list various books (the __ prefix means it sorts to the top when sorting by Title).
Maybe I'll play around with the timestamps to see how leaving them alone if there were no book changes, and to sort them in order (at the bottom) if they're new or have changes to the book list. It might make the sort by Collection list look a bit odd over time. Perhaps as an option.

I came up with the solution of adding books to collections manually on my Kindle since I usually don't add more then 10 at a time. And use the plugin only then my Kindle requires a reset to factory defaults or I have to add a very list of books to add.

Certainly an option, though not making the most of the plugin

Basicly the plugin doesn't care what modifications you do on your Kindle to your Calible managed collection. Next time you sync them the plugin will have his way. Have I understood correctly?

Correct, the plugin will overwrite calibre managed collections. If it notices that the collection file has been updated since the last time you ran create (by manual editing) it will warn you and list what changed.
