Would a Calibre plugin to extract reading progress from the kindle be useful?

I've built some scripts to automatically extract metadata from the Kindle and sync it to user defined custom columns in Calibre. This lets me sort my book collection by read/unread, date last read, number of reads, etc.

The data is provided by KRDS:info like position, completion status, hours read, etc.

If there is interest, I could clean this up and publish it as a calibre plugin. Years ago I saw quite a few threads about this, but I'm not sure if amazon has ever added this ability to newer kindles as mine is quite old now.

For me, my kindle only shows 0-100%, and that percent is reset if you ever open the book to a different page so your progress is lost. There's also no way to see if you read a book more than once, or sort by progress/last read.

This could also be easy to expand to other devices if extractors like KRDS exist on those platforms, but I haven't looked into that yet.
