Interesting how many different ways people do this! I use an 'unread' tag in Calibre, and I set it up to turn the title of the book red in Calibre if it has unread in the tags. That way I can see at a glance which books are unread without having to select by tags.
I've also kept a spreadsheet for years that has my print and ebooks, so I don't accidentally buy the same book twice. I have a tag on that spreadsheet for my wish list. The wish list is for Agency-priced books. I don't buy them, with certain exceptions, but I keep a list of them for if those publishers ever come to their senses (sigh).
I keep about half my unread books on my Kindle in an 'Unread' collection. I remove it from that collection when I start reading it, so that it shows up on the Home page, and when I finish it, I rate it in Calibre and remove the Unread tag, so that the red gets removed from the title. (I also still put the rating and a comment in my spreadsheet. Eventually I want to stop keeping the two lists and I've started entering my print books into Calibre, but for now it still works for me.)
