I need to be able to distinguish a book I've read and didn't like from a book that needs more work to make it readable (didn't format right, etc). So, I mark read to "no"; I thought to change the date read to something like Jan 9, 1999 to distinguish the one's I want to move off of my main calibre files to an older file for those I don't like. But cc won't let me put in an old date, it changes the the 1999 to 2015.
Any ideas of how I can get around this besides immediately going to the pc and updating calibre on my own everytime - which defeats the purpose of cc? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks.

What about using an empty date to disambiguate "No". If the No has a date then it is definitive. If it doesn't have a date than it is one of those that means "more work".
You can do the same thing with "blank" if you need another state.
