Since I'm a bit OC, if I had already finished the book, I re-open it, go to the last page and page forward, so it's properly registered as finished. But the record for the old book stays and now I have two finished books in the stats (stats are useless anyway, I know).
If you use the "Store/restore current bookmark" function to restore the stored reading status, it will mark the book as finished, but it doesn't add the records that are used for the stats. Same goes for using the "Update metadata in Device library" function. And deleting the original version of the book should leave the stats right (when they work).

- Delete book-specific configurations for books marked as finished. Once I've finished a book, it's unlikely I'll open it again in the near future. When/if I do, I want it to use whatever current default settings are in place.
You can do this by using the "Remove reader font" option. Select the books and run it and removes the database records for each book.

I have also been thinking of adding some clean-up functions. Removing some of the records in the database for for finished books is one of them. But, it won't save much space. It might make it faster, but I don't know how noticeable it will be.
