Kobo % Read not synced 2-way

w00dent0p · 08-07-2025, 05:42 AM

Hi,

I have a Calibre column for #kobo_percent_read which has been working fine. Books that I've read on my Libre 2 show as 100% in this column.

I recently had to perform a factory reset on my Libre 2, and I've since been uploading all my books again.

Problem is that the read progress isn't being passed back to the Libre 2. Books that are shown as 100% read in Calibre, are still shown as Unread on the Libre 2.

Is there any way to make the sync of read progress 2-way?

Thanks.

Kobo Utilities -> restore current bookmark (or something like that, I don't have calibre open at the moment). Restoring reading progress is a manual operation, not automatic like storing it is.

Kobo Utilities -> Store/restore reading positions.

Worked a charm. Thank you.

I use the same tool to restore 'date added' to my Kobo after a factory reset.
