Since posting my initial query, I have read in the viewer from 0% to 15% without changing the "12%". I've subsequently opened the book viewer and gone to 55% then closed the viewer. I have just opened the viewer and read from the last opened position, 55% through to 67%. I then shut the viewer (and Calibre) down, and reopened Calibre then reopened the book in the viewer. It opened at 67%. The percent read showing underneath the metadata remains as in the screenshot, 12%

Which could mean some inconsistencies.

The last time I connected my Libra the reading status did up date, to the 67% shown in the upper part of the screenshot.
I have just connected my Libra again, and the reading status has changed from 67% to 68% in the relevant column and the date ahs changed too:

Meanwhile, the 12% and 10-02 date at the bottom have not changed at all.
I chose the word "oddity" with care - this quirk does not trouble me, it intrigues me. I have never noticed a reading status update underneath a book's metadata info as in the screenshot before, and have made no changes to the Calibre setup to account for it. I have no idea how it even got to 12%, nor why it has not moved at all since that time, nearly a week ago. It's a mystery, which is kind of apt given that the book is a mystery anthology.
