[GUI Plugin] Kindle Reading Dashboard

[zevi svei]

Imports the reading data your Kindle already stores on-device into Calibre custom columns: reading time, pace (WPM), progress %, furthest page, words read, highlights count, read status and last-read date.

Features

• Sources: USB drive, MTP (Scribe 3 / Colorsoft / 2024 Paperwhite, Calibre 7.25+), or SSH (jailbroken device with USBNetwork) for read status.
• No jailbreak needed for USB/MTP. Read-only on the device. No cloud or Amazon account.
• "Create missing columns" button; import all books or refresh only the selected ones; optional auto-import when the Kindle connects.
• Reading stats also shown in the Book Details panel.

Install
Preferences -> Plugins -> Load plugin from file -> pick the attached zip, then restart Calibre.
