If you have a last read time from the stored reading position, why do you want to set it to something else? The point of the function is to restore all these pieces of information. This also sets the sync date (used for the "Date added" sort) to the last read date if the last read date is before the sync date. Otherwise, the "Recent" sort isn't correct.

But, you probably really want the "Update metadata in Device Library". That can set the sync date for all the books to one of the dates in calibre. The bookmark restore will only change books that have a last read date in calibre.
