- Use update metadata from the library list and set to finished
- Use the change reading status from the device list.

All three worked. And the book that was on the home screen, showed it as finished. I wasn't expecting that, but it confirms my theories on the tiles.

There might still be something going on, but I need to know which method you are using to mark them as finished.
Sorry for not specifying. I was doing the "Update Metadata" and setting it to finished. It did in fact set the books to finished, but the summary dialog from the plugin stated that no books were changed. I guess perhaps this is actually true since it's the DB, not the books, being changed but it isn't quite what I expected as a result.

TLDR: It worked, but the plugin confirmation led me to believe that it didn't.
