This is something we would like to do, but unfortunately it isn't straightforward. The first problem is that calibre's device subsystem is not permitted to write information into the database. I can get around that, but I need to be absolutely certain that whatever I do can't corrupt the database. The second problem is "synchronization": how to handle simultaneous changes to the field on the device and in calibre. How does one detect it? Which change wins?
I have had some discussion with Kovid about how I could do this in a way that is general enough to be acceptable yet has behavior that is predictable. I haven't gotten there yet.
Bottom line: we will get there eventually, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
