MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Marking a book as Read/Finished in Calibre and updating info on Kobo

lealla · 08-14-2018, 06:59 AM

Hi all,

I have Calibre set up so that it records the reading progress of any book on my kobo in a custom column - similar to this setup here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...2&postcount=14

It works great in one direction - i.e tracking progress from Kobo to Calibre.

But can I set the progress to go the other way? I.e can I mark books as 'Read' in Calibre, and have this info be synchronized with the kobo?
I'd like to update some books on the kobo with a 'read/finished' status and it is quicker to update the info in Calibre, rather than manually on the device.

Please let me know if this is possible! Thank you!
