(I could in the past read books, close them (instead of flipping past the last page) and mark them read, and then they wouldn't count to the reading stats number (this is how I got to 31 instead of 22, long story). But this doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know how to do this? As this would solve my problem.
What firmware are you using? Neither 3.19.5761 or 4.1.7729 behave like that for me. If I mark a book as finished it doesn't increase the finished book count. I can't remember if earlier firmware was different, but I don't think so.

The only way to fix this, is to make changes to the database one the device. You need to access it with a SQLite database manager, find the extra rows and delete them. The table to look at is "Event". The finished books have "EventType=5". The column "ContentID" for the book that was finished. Find the rows for the 9 books you don't want finished and delete them.

I would recommend taking a backup of the database before doing this. It should be safe, but it is better to be safer.
