I use Calibre with Calibre Companion on my iPad.

While CC understands that a book is "read" or "not read," it appears to me that it is not sending this information to Calibre when I connect and sync via the Wireless Server.

In particular, I notice that when I remove books from CC after syncing, and then add them again, they again show up in CC as being unread, despite what I assume should have been adequate time for Calibre to import the "read" information from CC.

I found a tutorial on creating a custom column for read/unread status. But when I did it, the books all showed up with blank entries -- Calibre did not understand that some of those books had been read.

Is there a way to make this information available in the Columns in Calibre, and to ensure that Calibre is getting this information from CC?
