I managed to set up the required columns. Whenever I read a few pages and attach the reader, it asks to update the "Percent read" values in Calibre. This is great. When deleting all books on the reader and re-adding them, I am able to transfer the reading status by selecting all books with "Percent read = 100", pressing the "Update metadata in device library" button and then using the "Change reading status" option.

I can not find an option to transfer the "Last read date" column from Calibre to the device, though. This has the side effect that every time I connect the reader, the plugin wants to delete the "Last read" date from the Calibre library:



Is there a way to transfer the "Last read date" column from Calibre to the reader? I am using Kobo utilities 2.11.8 and Calibre 5.3.0.
For the reading status, "Update metadata in device library" is brute force. It sets all the books selected to the same status and date. It doesn't use the stored reading status. That can be restored using the "Store/Restore current bookmark" function. And the default there is to use the last reading timestamp. But, there is an option to use the current date instead.
