Hey all,

As the title suggests, I'm new to KOReader (and somewhat new to Calibre), and I'm trying to import my books from Calibre onto my Kobo/KOReader and retain their 'read/unread' status.

I've set the books in Calibre via a custom 'read' field, but not entirely sure this is the correct approach, as when I import the books into KOReader, they're all unread and 'new'.

In terms of KOReader, am I doing the right thing, or not?
