For example, the book in this picture has a progress of 18% on my Kindle, but the plugin/Calibre has it at "-1". (see: https://imgur.com/a/PtsYM5V).
Another thing I noticed is that most books are missing links.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm really sorry if this was answered before or if it's common knowledge for most users. Thank you!

Hi and welcome to MobileRead
This particular feature was not added to the plugin by myself but I have taken a quick look at the code.
The -1 appears if it cannot find a value in your reading progress column for that book. Are you sure you have actually selected the correct column in the "Reading progress column" dropdown on the "Customize..." dialog for this plugin?
In trying this feature myself I did find a few bugs with this feature which I will try to address for the next release. However what might have caught you out is that if you chose the "Create new column" option in the dropdown for Reading progress column, and then restart calibre. It appears that it doesn't save your new column as the choice - you have to go back into the Customize... dialog to reselect the column now that it is available.
The other situation for getting -1 is that is the default value for a book that has no value assigned in your progress custom column.
