I never saw the need for a feature to mark a book read or not read as I always remember a book I've completed. However, I can see the new feature coming in very handy for something entirely different -- like making a priority reading list or marking books which either need editing/corrections or those which I've made important annotations to. So it is appreciated.
As for whether to label it "Read" or "Marked Read" I think most people would decipher the meaning differently in their own ways. So from a semantical viewpoint, I don't think it makes much difference. But from simply a design perspective and for brevity's sake, "Read" would be the choice. "Marked Read" just sticks out a little as one of the longer labels on the details page. So it's just a bit cleaner to use the shorter label.

Thanks for the comments and for testing. I wish I was like you - that I could always remember. That ability seems to have gone away when I entered my "golden years". I can't even remember a new password long enough to put it into my password keeper program. I must put it in to the program before I use it.
I hadn't thought of using the new Read stuff for such a different purpose as you propose, but that is really a good idea. It is after all a tri-state flag that can have whatever meaning the user wishes. I stole the idea and put it into the FAQ.
