No need to apologize.

The complexity comes from needing to keep track of where the value changes. It can change in calibre, in CC, or in both, and the rules must be crystal clear what happens in each situation. There is a additional of complexity in the UI to indicate that that field is editable or to put an editable copy of it up with the read + date read stuff, and the necessary options to tell CC and calibre what it is to do with it.

Performance problems come from needing to transfer the information and then verify the status of the info in calibre's DB.

Regarding setting a mark the issues I see are it would mark all read books unless I could maybe specifically set individual ones - at the moment I simply make a note within Moon+ Reader Pro on each book I have read to update them.
It would mark books where the read (or the date read?) changed since the last sync, not all read books.
