One more important thing..I've just started using this somewhat new feature.

As mentioned, creating a tag to show the "status" of my edits is helpful and managed in one place easily. Color options are available with this too.

BUT maybe you like a dedicated column for this status. I used to use one for read, keep but got tired of the separate entry and separate entry screens and extra steps.

Then I realized that...
You can keep your unique column and set a behavior in that column based on what you put in tags.
For example, if I've read it I give a tag of READ. That then triggers a special icon to show in another column without me entering something again (Preferences, custom icons tab at right). I can always still search just for READ books based on the tag or even create a virtual library.

This can be very handy when visuals are preferable to words or color or in combination.

I love it. I also find myself quickly adding another tag column now that is just library management (the *new, **, __, among others) to be separate from traditional tags. I'm trying to see if I really like it better that way. I can customize what does and doesn't show in my metadata book jacket this way too and they aren't mixed in with other tags in other views where it doesn't show alphabetically or just the presence isn't there. Book details viewing makes it an easy quicklook also.
