Kindle <> Goodreads integration uses book's ASIN id from Kindle Store. Calibre converted / generated books normally don't use IDs known to Amazon & Kindle Store thus there is no linkage between book's Amazon ID and Goodreads ID of the same book edition. Thus no automatic integration with Goodreads shelves, read process, read status...

Simply put: book not from Kindle Store = no valid ASIN value = no Goodreads integration.

So remaining choices are:

1) do all that manually on Goodreads website (on Kindle itself if you're a masochist or on your phone or PC)
2) manually search for ASIN id for that particular book on Amazon.com and insert it into your "sideload book" file ie fake that you have retail Kindle ebook.
