But, I think it is pretty pointless to do this. As soon as you open a book, the last read timestamp is set to now,

That's fine, that's not a concern. What I really want is to pre-populate the list a bit without really changing the top four, and on occasion, bury something(s) that is in the top four without removing it from the list completely. (If I want to remove it, I can do that on the device easily.)

And with what you have suggested, it means you are marking all the books as being read, which seems counter productive to me.

No no, that's not what I want at all, I agree that would be counter productive. I just want to mark a few (more) books as Im_Reading and set (the order of) their dates.

The plugin already can manipulate the "Date added",

Is that different from the "last read" time stamp that sets the tile ordering?
If I could retrieve the last read timestamp, and then update it with "update metadata" that might cover what I want there.
To simplify, here's the minimum features I'm looking for, any subset of these, but this is more or less in the order of importance:
- Add a checkbox at the top of restore for "update bookmark" (check to preserve current behavior, uncheck to not change bookmark); adding this alone would make me happier
- Add a field next to "set date to now" that is subtracted from now
- Add store current reading status in a column.. (or, alternately, add a checkbox to not filter reading status when getting shelves from device)
- Add store last read date in column..

I'm not interested in doing something like you describe, but, if someone wants to add it, I'll look at it.

This might motivate me into doing some coding. Maybe if you made the first change, I could use that as a lever to start figuring out how to change this code?
