It's working correctly, you get the current position status of your reading, that is, the internal epub file where you left.

If you want something like Unread/Reading/Finished it would be better to use a calculated column based on the Percent read column. The calculation should be something like:
- If Percent read <= 1 then Unread (this way if you open the book by error but you stay in the cover page the book will continue to show as Unread)
- If Percent read >= 99 then Finished
- Else, Reading

I think unfinished books mark as read would tramp this calculation because Percent Read storages the real percent even when you mark the book as read, so you should go to the book and move to the last page so this calculation works.
