It depends on how fast the OP reads. If they read a book a month, it will take a while. But for someone like @DNSB, it would probably be sometime next week (though it probably happened years ago).

Personally, I don't see much point and think that using calibre for tracking is better long term. Or some other tool. But, for something searchable on the device, having a "book" on the device would work. And I think that is what the OP is after. The previews idea should work for that as well, especially if their plan is to use OD on the device. They automatically convert to previews when returned. Adding previews for the previously read books is consistent. And it does mean that if you are reading a series, you can see all the books so far read on the device in one list and open the current one.
