If I click on the Library button in calibre then right clicking on KoboUtilities gives me the option Get Shelves From Device and if I select that it says Shelf colum: #collections (Collections), presumably a column I set up before the Kobo supported series.

But it's not getting that Read value that I see when I click the calibre Device button. Is there some way to retrieve that Read value into calibre?
The collections "Read", "Im_Reading", "Recommendations" and some others are virtual collections. They do not exist on the device but match the filters that the device have in the book list. They are shown in the device list to show the reading status or other status of the books.

To get the reading status to the device, use the "Store/Restore current bookmark" function. That can fetch the reading status including the percent read and when the book was last read to the library. This uses custom columns that need to be configured.
