A general observation about the use of the utility - this is not a bug !

If you have a reasonably large book you can be quite a few pages into reading it before the % read advances beyond 0% on the device. This is then reflected in the % read value returned by the utility. The result of this is that you can have a book which you are currently reading but where the status as determined by Calibre (with a bit of column tweaking) is not yet "Reading".

Interestingly though if you examine the "Collections" column on the device view for a book like this it shows up as "Im_Reading". If it were possible for the Utility to get this status it would provide a more accurate view of what books have been started than trying to infer it from the %read. Or perhaps someone knows how to access the "collections" column, which only seems to exist with a device connected, to make the true reading status visible in the Library view.
