What is the effort so that the plugin is be able to deal with multiple reading status?
You can do it right now manually. What you need to do is:

- For each device, create a set of custom columns for the reading status. You would need to name them so that you know which is which.
- With no devices connected, configure the plugin to use one set of columns.
- Connect the device for the configured columns and fetch the status.
- Eject the device
- Repeat the above for each device.

I haven't tried it, but that should work. A way to partly automate this is to take copies of the configuration file and replace it before starting calibre and connecting each device. You could wrap starting calibre in a script to replace the file before starting.

I have thought about adding this this to the plugin, but, I haven't really had a need. And I think you are the first to suggest it. I'll put it on my TODO list to have a look and see how easy it is. But, it isn't likely to happen any time soon.
