You do record last read date and that's not synced, is it? Automatically recording read date and manually setting a book to completed isn't really that big of a difference IMO.
How about a better way to see recently read books than sorting books by "Date read"? E.g. a separate page.

Actually you could mark books as read in calibre, but it involves a custom column and manual updating, I think. Sure CC has a last read date, but just because I opened up a book and looked at its cover/metadata doesn't mean I've finished reading it, or even that I started actually reading it despite what CC may think.
So yes, people would rightly expect that if you can mark books as read in CC, that the data be sent back to calibre so we'd know there too what books we'd already read. And chaley's already explained why that currently isn't doable already. Maybe give it more time and better hardware/software on Android devices.
