Read/Unread book status

I've got my Calibre library synced up to Goodreads, and in addition to a custom column, I've been able to mark in Calibre what books have been read or not. I've just got a new Kindle, is there any way that I can transfer this information over to save me searching for over 100 books myself and manually marking them as read?



*Sorry if this has been asked & answered before!

Not as far as I know. It's been years since a Kindle exposed it's database through the USB connection.

You could have only the unread books on your kindle. As soon as I finish a book I delete it from my ereader. I have a Finished column in calibre that I change to Yes. (That's a simplified version of what I do; the full version is https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...59&postcount=4 )
