Thanks for the suggestion. I did try that but I think that the option suggested by davidfor is the more "clean" way to do it.

That's great davidfor! Thanks a lot
. I was looking for exactly that feature (so I don't need to manually select books and mark them with the brute force method).
May I suggest that you rename the option to make it more clear for new users (like me)? To me, the name sounded like it can only be used for the "dog ear" bookmarks, so I did not even try selecting it. I think that "Store/Restore reading status in device library" could be a lot easier to understand. Also, it would be more in line with the related option "Set reading status in device library".
Have you considered uploading the plugin to GitHub? That way, it would be easier for others to contribute. Also, when someone is looking for help, existing independent issues on GitHub are probably a lot easier to browse than a forum thread with thousands of posts. Maybe I can even contribute a few things (like the name change suggested above).
