I added the "finished" custom column-of-columns (as outlined on page one of this thread) and when I completed a book, it did copy the book into that new collection correctly--but the book is *also* still listed in the previous collection as well. Is there any way to have the book remove itself from the initial sorted collection and *only* display in the "finished" collection once the book is at 100 percent read, to essentially move the book automatically?
The answer is "sort of".

Firstly, the way I do this is using the Reading List plugin. I have reading list for "To Read", "Reading", "To Rate" and "Finished". Plus some others for states such as "To clean" and on for each device. There is also a column for the status. Adding a book to one of these reading lists add the status to that column, removing it from the list, removes the status. The manual part is that I need to use the "Move to" function in the Reading List plugin to move from one reading list to the other.

I have considered automating the above in the past. But, it hasn't been enough of an issue so far for me. And the overall design of something like this means that it is getting close to automating a process flow.

A way you can this is to have a column using a template based on the reading percent. If it is zero or empty, return "To Read", if it is between 0 and 100, return "Reading" and if it is 100, return "Finished". Then add that column to the collections columns in the driver. I do use something like this, but, it sets an icon in the reading percent column based on the reading percent and the status above.
