One workaround is to use something like Google Keep (checkbox) notes as a memory aide. On the device, write into the note what you want to change when you get back to calibre. Once on the machine running calibre, open the note in the browser and make the edits stored in the note. Using checkboxes lets you keep track of what has been done, something important if more than one person is making notes.

First-off, many thanks Charles for a great app. It's really top drawer!
One thing I'd like to see is very similar (possibly same) as what SASSBS suggested above. I use a custom 'Times Read' column (Integers type) in Calibre.
I envisaged an 'Increment Integer Count' checkbox option within CC's 'Marking Books Read' menu option. If checked, the 'Sync Column for Read' option show a list of Calibre integer fields (rather than yes/no types). Chosen field is then incremented when book is 'read'.
Don't know if this was what you already had in mind when you said "Adding general editing of columns in CC is much more work that I am interested in doing"?
If so, not to worry then. On the flip-side, if it is doable then
Best,
Carl
