Quick question - is there any way of reading a collection from the Kindle (PW3 FWIW) and setting a read-only type flag within Calibre?
What I've been trying to do is flag up in Calibre when I've read a book on my kindle & subsequently added that book to a 'Read Book' collection on the Kindle.

I can then flag which books are in the Read Book collection of my Kindle into my (much bigger) collection in Calibre. This enables me to know which of the books in Calibre I've read & not to upload them to my device nor purchase them if I've read them before.

The only bug in the ointment is that when I have connected the kindle to Calibre, read the 'Read' collection and then subsequently deleted the books from my Kindle in the 'Read' collection (as there are now over a hundred) of course I lose the 'Read' flag in Calibre to say that I've done that book.

Does that make any sense to anyone at all??!!

Cheers for any enlightenment that can be given!
Kind regards,
Nic
