That's what I seem to remember, but, I don't remember when it changed. It might have been a couple of years ago when the changes in how the ToC and the headers and footers went in. If I try an older firmware on one of my devices, I'll try and remember to check.

I guess I have to watch for these books when connecting, make sure to manually adjust the % in calibre, and use the plugin to restore to the Kobo. That way the book remains at 1% everywhere until I'm ready to read it.
I don't see the point. Just let them sync and leave it at that. But, I also can't work out why you are doing this. I think you mentioned that you are using it as some sort of to-be-read list. Personally, I can't think of anything worse to do. This would mean that when I filter the books to show books that I am reading, it would probably have more books on it that I am not than am reading. That doesn't sound like it helps me find a book. Why not create a TBR collection and put the books in it? That way you can easily see the books you are thinking of reading soon, and are can see the books you actually are reading without any confusion. What is happening here seems to demonstrate there is a problem with your method.
