You can always make a Device column (tags of fixed value?) and use the current Ondevice status to set a tag (remove the old tag beforehand)

I have enough problems deciding what book to read next, let alone then having to decide from a pile of devices which one to read it on

.
I am assuming the the "Device Column" way you mention is still the manual one using a ondevice:true search then manually setting the tag in the user column, rather than setting it using the ondevice() function which, as I understand it, does not persist after the device is disconnected so there is no easy way to set a column field using it except by means of a plugin (a few posts in past threads mention this) of which Reading List is the only one.
But if there is a way to do this by automatically populating a user column that persists without manual searches and manual bulk metadata editing, and not using the Reading List plugin, then that would make my day
