A few questions/feature requests

Hello, I am a new user of your incredible program, and I would like to ask some questions:

1)Can Calibre read book information from the Sony reader? I am especially interested in a feature that would mark as read everything i have read to the end, and possibly archiving it under a special tag.

By the way, how do you manage stuff you have read?

2)Sync option. When i select all my books and send them to my device, Calibre ignores the fact that 99% of them are already there and it sends another copy, needlessly taking space. Am I doing something wrong?

3)Sony reader crashes/restarts when opening some lrf files created from news sites(never had any problems with lrf created from normal books, pdf files etc. I also can send the files to anyone interested). As I have read that large lrf files can cause reboots due to the limited ram of the sony reader, maybe Calibre could have an option to automatically format as epub everything that would likely cause reboots as an lrf?

4)Unicode support. Maybe this is a sony problem, but even after flashing the device with unicode fonts, greek letters with an accent do not show up correctly in the device menus. Also calibre sends files with greek characters in their name as ______,________._-_______292.pdf to the reader, even if they are saved correctly in the library.

I am very thankful for your tremendous job creating this program, so i am willing to help with testing etc.
