I'm pretty sure there is no way to tell on the Touch which books have been read. Seems like you would have to come up with some scheme of your own. For example, perhaps you could put a bookmark on the very last page of a book (or very first page, whatever...) when you finish it. Another idea would be to set up a special shelf called "Read" and add books to it when you finish them.

Also, isn't there a "comments" area available? I seem to remember something like that. If so, you could use that. The special shelf idea has the advantage that you don't have to open the book to find out.
