I have followed the config instructions for Utilities and have a custom column set up named "percentread" of type "Integer". This is referenced in the Utility setup (as #percentread).

I connect my Glo and use the Utility menu to "Store" the current bookmarks of a single book I am currently reading which has a single annotation.

Utilities reports one book, no bookmarks found and the Percent Read column in my Library is not updated with any value.

Do I need to make any config changes to the Extended Driver ?

Thoughts would be appreciated as to what I am doing wrong.
Sorry, I knew there was something I forgot to mention or fix. This is only retrieving the reading location for epubs. For this, I ignore kepubs because they get synced to the Kobo server. But, of course I forgot about the extended driver. Well, it didn't exist when I initially wrote this, but I haven't gotten around to adding them. It shouldn't be to hard, so I will do that in the next few days.

Also, I have been inconsistent with my terminology. I keep using "bookmark", because I think of using a bookmark in a paperback to remember where I am up to*. Kobo allows multiple bookmarks. This function is only looking at the current reading position. i.e. The place the book will open to.

Annotations and the tap-the-top-corner bookmarks aren't handled by this. The two annotation options in the plugin do. But, the Annotations plugin does a much better job of handling them. I plan to write the code so that it can read the Kobo devices. I have done enough to know it is possible, but need to return to it.

* For a long time I used train tickets for bookmarks. Every now and then I get a book out and find a fading ticket. I can then see when I last read it.
