The Kobo's library has a finished/unfinished flag, but, much like the Kindle, if you reopen the book, that goes away. (On the other hand, you can explicitly flag a book as finished or not straight from the library, without opening it).

Speaking of Kobos, I'd wait a few weeks, the sucessor of the Aura will likely be announced soon™.

If you don't care about a bundled/connected store, you might also want to take a look at stuff from Bookeen or Pocketbook, they're still alive and kicking, and doing interesting stuff.

If you care about it, the issue of dictionaries is also important (and one area where the Kindle pretty much annihilates the competition, at least for the English language, IMHO. NODE/OAED FTW. Kobo's EN dictionary pretty much makes me want to gouge my eyes out).
