I understand the technical viewpoint of what constitutes "reading" a book although it might differ from a user's viewpoint. My problem really was that a large number of books on my Glo showed up as "reading", perhaps because I had had a problem with the cover displaying when I added the book so I opened the book to check. This rather skewed my view of what I was currently reading and the real ones were lost in the noise.

The answer has been for me to use the plugin to reset the books I have opened but am not reading. Calibre now shows me a more realistic view of the books I am currently reading.
