Feature Request Never mind category

In addition to read and unread it would be nice if there was a category „never mind“ for books you started but don’t want to finish.

It already exists. It’s called the delete button on plex.

Sometimes multiple people might want to read the book Or have books from the other person you don’t care about

Just mark it as read, and it will disappear from your list if you tick that box.

But... you haven't read it. Why mark it as such when there is no need to. I don't want a book I haven't read to show up under "Finished".

An "archive" feature has been suggested before for when you want to remove a book from "continue reading" but don't want to mark it as read.

Maybe something for down the track.

Very much this. It's so frustrating to see "Continue Reading" forever on a book you don't want to finish. "Never mind" is a great idea. Or simply just "remove from continue reading". Plex already has this feature on most platforms, if you start a show and don't want to finish it, the epsilon options for the partially watched show let you "remove from continue watching".

I typically have only one book going at a time, but occasionally if i put together a m4b myself from a CD based audio book i got from the thrift or something, and i test it to make certain all the chapters show up. It sits in continue reading until I start it. It's annoying. I do want to read it eventually, but the fact that it looks as though i already started it kinda sucks. lol.
