This is using the KoboTouchExtended driver.
That's a bit strange if the device is connected. There can be some timing involved.If you open it as the device is being recognised, you might have different options enabled. But, if all the device jobs have finished, it shouldn't look like that. I'll have a look to see if I can see what is happening.

As for the functionality I'm looking for, I sometimes have books that I've finished on the Kobo and want it to be marked finished in Calibre, or sometimes I have finished a book on my computer, Calibre marks it as complete, and I want my Kobo to also have it marked as finished. So I'm hoping I can have it sync both ways, but I'm happy with just having it one way if possible.

You mentioned the plugin options, having to configure them to use the columns that I made for my read status. How would I do that? I see in the plugin that there is a section for setting your custom columns, but it doesn't give me an option to select my read column. Is there some more configuration that I have to do?

Thanks for the reply.

This seems to work quite nicely. Thank you.
That's good. @PeterT does do a good job of explaining these things.
