Hi
Apparently I am not understanding your issue. Can you tell me the exact steps that you were following and what happens versus what should happen.
I have not seen any weird issues myself but I regularly reset my reading status so I may be missing something.
Right now it works like this:
If your Metadata handling is set to manual (Under Preferences-Send to device)
1) Calibre reads your database and displays the status that you have on the device.
2) Editing a collection tag on the device via calibre resends the entire collection to the device with any updates (if you had 10 books in Im_Reading and you removed a tag for one book it clears them all and sends updates the status of the 9 books. (Just the way it works in Calibre and should work fine)
Deleting a book (not a tag) removes the file and all related rows except the book row which is updated to Expired (This is how the device does it). The book is now hidden in the Kobo and now in Calibre. Expired book rows are removed by the device during a sync.
If you want to recover a book you need to login to your account at the kobo website and put the book back on your reading list (normal ePubs and PDF docs can just be reloaded)
The automated metadata process is similar except it replaces the statuses on your device with what ever your tags within Calibre are set to be for Closed, Im_Reading or Read.
Let me know what you are seeing and I will get it fixed.
