I hope that it is consistent with what you expected.
No, that is a new problem. The data in newly-sent books was being lost. I just fixed that.

Update:

1. I disconnected then connected again and sent a new set of read books to my device and the same thing happened, but this time not only the new books lost the read mark, the books on the device that matched also lost their marks when the new books were sent.

2. I tried one more time this time with scan for books unchecked and the same thing as in update 1 happened.
It isn't clear to me whether you had followed all the steps or if this was a normal connection. If it was an "all steps" connection then I suspect that the difference between what I saw and what you are seeing is that the metadata in the books is correct. I would need to check to be sure, but I think that none of the books on my device have the correct custom columns already in them.

Losing the checkmarks on the newly-sent books is the same new problem as above. Losing all the checkmarks when you send new books implies that CC and calibre disagreed on what the checkmark should be, but this doesn't feel right.

I suggest that we hold off any further experiments until we are both running the same codebase. Both CC and calibre have changed to fix the bugs I found earlier in the week (and that you were trying to repeat) and to fix the bug you found today. Both will be released tomorrow.
