I occasionally see the status on the device as just "Reading". I've never dug into why, but, it is likely to be when the percent read is zero and the book is marked as opened. That calibre is getting zero percent from the device, suggests this is correct.

Nothing has changed in the plugin on relation to this. And I haven't noticed any change on the device. But, I also don't open books and leave them on the cover page. If you could run calibre in debug mode and post the log from after connecting the device and the status fetch has run, I can check if there is anything thing obvious in that. I'll also need the title of some books in this state to make sure I have the right ones.
First, we can eliminate any mobi issue since there are none in calibre or on the device. The books I am referring to are all epub in calibre, which are converted to kepub upon transfer to the Clara HD.

Next, the current behavior is what I prefer -- books opened and left on the cover page display 1% in My Books.

BUT, there is a new oddity: I had a book in the list at 1% (title is Past Tense). I just opened it again to the cover page. It still displays 1% on the Kobo, but connecting to calibre comes up with the Show Reading Position Changes dialogue with Current % = 1, New % = 0.

There are 59 books in My Books>Reading>Recent. Titles include Find You First and Constance, which still are at 1% in both calibre and the Kobo. None of the books are marked "Reading", which again is what I prefer.

Debug log attached.
