I'm confused.

IIRC, going back a few months and as far back as I can remember, when I opened a book on the Clara HD the displayed % in the My Books list became "1%" (with the book remaining on the first/cover page). "1%" was also transferred to calibre upon connecting in Win 10.

More recently, that behavior changed to a display of "Reading" on the Kobo, and "0%" showing in calibre.

Now, the Kobo again displays "1%" in My Books, but wants to transfer "0%" to calibre upon connection.

The reason this concerns me is that I line up my future reading list by opening the books on the Kobo to the cover page, and using the My Books list with a filter of Reading and sorted by Recent. This used to give me the 1% display that I prefer. When transferred to calibre, the 1% books are color coded in my library. So if these opened books are 0%, they show as unread in calibre, fouling up my calibre system.

I don't know if the changing behavior is intentional, but I'd like to know if there is a way to have an opened book on the cover page always display "1%" on the Kobo and give that information to calibre.

Any information/help would be appreciated.
