I sure hope so

I d/l and installed the Reading List plugin and played with it a little bit. I'm still not sure how to make use of it...

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).

It's this step that I thought there ought to be some automated way. Otherwise, after I got home, I have to:
- open Calibre
- run M+Reader on the device. List all books that were tagged with 'READ' while I was on vacation
- visually and manually checked off one by one in Calibre
- then either send these newly 'tagged' books back to CC (so CC will get the new tag) or have Calibre removed them from the device. Again, manually and carefully because there are other books in Calibre that were previously tagged with 'READ' that are not part of this batch
See how tedious it is? This is what I like to avoid doing manually

I thought when I used MR to read a book and changed its tag, the tag went back into the metadata in the same epub file that CC keeps, then when CC sent metadata back to Calibre, Calibre would get it. I tried it and it did not happen.
Thank you for your comments. Appreciate it.
