The reading status is shown in the Meta Preview (pic1) but the custom column only shows not read (pic2).

I used following template for the column:
{comments:kindle_read_status_2(90,Read,Reading,Not Read)}

For my understanding the custom column must show read (or the %) but it shows only Not Read

Edit:
Could it be possible that the python script only checks the english version?
What needs to be changed to match the german language? (17.02.2012

Hi Markus
Yes, the examples only works for english status text.
However, here's a German version that should work, at least it does here, using your example. You'll have to modify the template.
Make a copy of the line mg = rematch etc., and insert it below the original line.
Disable the original by entering a # sign at the front
Modify the copy line (or copy from the code below) to handle german text.
Please be carefull you have a TAB in front of the copy line.

#	mg = re.match('.*\s(\d+[-/]\d+[-/]\d+).*?Last Page Read: Location \d+ \((\d+)%\)', val, re.I + re.DOTALL);
	mg = re.match('.*\s(\d+[-/\.]\d+[-/\.]\d+).*?Zuletzt gelesene Seite: Ort \d+ \((\d+)%\)', val, re.I + re.DOTALL);

Edit: Remember to restart Calibre
Hope this works for you,
Cheers Per
