I am still using firmware 4.37.21533 and the following works for me with regards to reading time (though not percentage of books read), but I cannot guarantee that it will work for everyone, nor that it works with 4.38.21908.
Under
Settings >
Energy saving and privacy go to the second page and under the heading
HELP IMPROVE OUR APP check to see if there is the option
Automatically share data about the features you use:. If there is then toggle the check mark from (on to off, if the check mark is already there, then from) off to on then back to off, and leave the check box unticked, this should reset the reading statistics.
If you do not see the option
Automatically share data about the features you use: then you will have to edit
Kobo eReader.conf and in the section headed
[OneStoreServices] either delete or put a # at the beginning of the line
kobo_privacyCentre_url=https://www.kobo.com/privacy. After rebooting your Kobo the above option should return and you will be able to reset the reading statistics as shown above.
Note that syncing or updating the firmware may see the line
kobo_privacyCentre_url=https://www.kobo.com/privacy reinstated, so keep Wi-Fi and automatic syncing switched off unless you need to update or download something. If the line does reappear in
Kobo eReader.conf just edit it out again.
Re. editing
Kobo eReader.conf, check out the first section of
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kob...ration_Options if you are unfamiliar with the process. Remember, if you are using Windows do not use Notepad to edit the file, use WordPad instead.
P.S. Re-reading your post

If you want to reset the percentage read of an individual book long press the book from the Home page or a collection view and choose either
Mark as unread or
Mark as finished but note that doing so will lose your place in the book.
