Not currently. Though the ability to mark a book read in Calibre Companion and have that update calibre upon connection of the device to calibre my be something being worked on by the developer.

This might be fine when you have a dozen books but sending all of the books will quickly become insane. Use the
Reading List plugin. You can add new books to the default list and the next time you connect your device these new books will be sent automatically to your device.

It does make sense but calibre currently doesn't work that way so there is a lot of behind the scenes coding that would need to be done in calibre and in Calibre Companion. As indicated I do believe this functionality is on CC's developers To Do list.

Currently you open calibre, select the 40 books, open edit metadata and add the Read tag to all 40 books at once. The next time you connect to CC the books will be updated to include the Read tag.
I use a custom column and when I open the book details page in CC there is a checkmark indicating the book has been read. Also I can view all Read or unread books in a group by making a group from a custom column in CC (look in settings).

I use Moon+ Reader too. There is no integration between Moon+ and calibre.
