To clarify, you would like to have entries in calibre representing books installed on your iDevice in multiple reader apps, with a column indicating which reader app has the book installed.

There is no automated way to do this currently, but it can be done manually.

Create a custom column of type 'Text, but with a fixed set of permitted values'. Those values would initially be 'Nook', 'Kobo' and 'Kindle'.

You would then create a new book by selecting Add books|Add empty book to create a new book in your library without any associated content. Add the metadata, then set the custom column to indicate which reader app the book is installed in.
