Adding a "Read" column
I am slowly finding my around Calibre and somehow I have added a "Read" column, but I can't see how I tick the relevant read book?.

If you are default (no user Tweaks) Calibre;
Double click the in column at the book you want to change (it should show up), tap Y or N (Y is the tick)

No that didn't work. That only brings up the book to read within Calibre.

Try single click or you can edit it in the edit metadata screen

My bad I DO have the 'do_nothing' tweak (because I got tired of always accidentally launching the Viewer.). I have to press F2 to edit.

You don't actually want a double click, you want two clicks with a slight hesitation between. Click once on the line for the book you want to edit, wait a fraction of a second, click again on the same line under the Read column and you should be able to edit. Click one more time on the box that opens up and the Y and N options should show up for you to select.

You're welcome. The experts forget that us neophytes need explicit instructions.

A friend had to walk me through how to get the edit box to open up in the library view, after I'd been using the damn program for 6 months. Using the metadata edit tab does work, but this is easier for a quick change.

Don't forget there is also a tweak for editing which will make clicking to edit easy
