No, you can see recently read books on the home page and get the full list by clicking browse all downloaded books.

Is this question about the builtin Viewer (V) or when using the Browser w/content server ?
I think Kovid answered the latter. In the Viewer: Open Book (on the menu: you might need to tap Esc to see it) gives you a list of previous (recently) viewed |

The Browse all downloaded books button is ONLY visible on the Home screen when using the content server browser. (You don't download except to ADD to the Library. Viewing just USES the Library copy)

Thanks, but I don't quite understand your explanation, since I'm new to Calibre. Should I click on the connect/share > start content server? And what should I do afterwards?

The Content server is normally for Network access (WiFi or wired). (If you have not started it, then it is NOT in use) You could use your Browser to read, but most folk use the built in viewer or dedicated app. The built in viewer has a 'recently read' on the file menu. THE LIBRARY has no record of the viewers usage. |

Thanks for your explanation, theducks. Got it.
Is it possible to let LIBRARY have a record of viewer usage? I guess just recording the last time stamp when a book is "double clicked" in the library could be used to sort books by last read time. |

I have a vague memory of someone writing a plugin that recorded the date & time a book was last viewed in a custom column, I think it's in the Library Management sub-forum. The author wasn't inclined to make it official because of the maintenance burden.
However, perhaps the same thing could be done with the Action Chains plugin, see ==>> Index of plugins BR |

I remember there was a plugin that did it, but, I was thinking @DaltonST added it to Job Spy or one of his other plugins.
