Okay, while we were discussing setting books read, and how to make it actually usable in large screens with small fonts, I recalled another problem I had doing that.

My ereader shuts down when idle. This is not as large a problem as it could be...on startup, it launches CC and then Cool Reader, and Cool Reader (Like most readers) remembers what book I was in. That all is fine.

And then I finish my book up, exit, ready to mark it read...and of course it's not there anymore. I have to go find it in CC.

Now, I'm aware there's been some discussion on why CC doesn't return to where you leave it, but let's pretend that's off the table. There's just as good a solution: The list that Calibre is already keeping of the last X books you read. I know it keeps that, because it puts it in the widget.

Can we get that list, or the last 100 or so if the list is long, and a way to sort it? Do we already *have* that list somewhere?

It would make it easy to glance at and say 'What books did I forget to mark read?'.
