I am trying to understand how the Kindle tracks your reading progress through a book, like the percentage read. Does anyone have any idea? I am using the KOreader file explorer feature to browse directories and look for files, but didn't have any luck so far.

My goal with this is fixing those books you download, never ever ever opens them, and still they are stupidly at 0%. That annoys me to no end, I want them to reflect the fact that, until I decide to open the book, they should be displayed as "NEW".

In the end, maybe this could be something I would make available for people interested, I know there are some who wish you could just reset the progress to new from digging about the issue a few years back.
