Never mind I figured out to mark them yes and no using bulk reconvert.
I hope you mean using "Edit metadata in bulk"?

Anyway, each of the three options (yes/no/empty) will appear as an option to search by in the grouping drawer under "Read". What each of those mean is really up to you. See here (in the Calibre Companion FAQ): https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...3&postcount=43

So you can use "yes" to mean have-read, and "no"/"empty" to mean have-not-read. Or whatever else you want.
