i was curious so i went into the database... i think, you could check these fields

table "contents"

"ContentType=6" to get books record
"__PercentageRead", the name says all
"ReadStatus" can be 0=new/not read, 1=reading, 2=completed

the status "completed" that we read is given by "ReadStatus=2"+"__PercentageRead=0"

"ReadStatus=1"+"__PercentageRead=100" = we are in the last page (eventually)

take care that these values are updated by the software when the kobo shout down. so, if you update the values and then you shout down the device nothing changes...so the switch off is needed before using any plugin


hope it helps. if you did already know... it was an exercise for me
