My system worked well for a long time. A list of TBR books on the Clara under My Books > Recent. The same books in calibre at 1% and color coded. When a book was finished, it disappeared from the Kobo list and showed 100% in calibre in a different color. Automatic.

As to your suggestion, can calibre and the reader have a book in multiple collections? Without extra columns? (I read a lot of series books.) And if so, it seems I would have to manually remove it from the TBR collection once finished.

I have to think about this. There must be several ways to approach it. (But I'm old and grumpy and change is hard! )
