This was a great help thanks.
I didn't think the awards would work with side loaded books...guess Kobo wouldn't make enough money that way. The last time I tried to correct the metadata and covers of my books I deleted them one by one off of my Vox for fear of using the mass delete option in the Kobo menu would also delete my awards.

Why thank you We can only hope someone who does work for Kobo read my post. I think I will pitch this idea on the Kobo Getsatisfaction page

I got Juggernaut this morning!!!!! I'm so happy, my DD had deleted the app from my phone when I was about 86% complete, and I had to start again
I also got Total closer, total recall, classic, the end, and all you can eat today!! although AYKE comes and goes... lol I'm not able to get lost in Austen, or Fanatic. I have 'read' both Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, as well as 3 other books by Jane Austen. Are these bugs? |

I love these awards! I think I'm sticker motivated like a previous poster mentioned. Hopefully the next update (whenever that may be) will include some new awards. Just as an aside, does anyone know what the 'One Millionth Award' is? |

xgirl,make a note in a book, use the word 'lol'
along with not getting awards for side loaded books (ie, Lost in Austen), perhaps they don't count books that you skim through, might account for the 80% on Sarasa1 classic attack .. but consider yourself lucky, I've read Alice & Huckleberry Finn start to finish and don't have any % listed. I think later today I'll list what I have, and what I should have.. (or so I think lol) .. haven't seen Sharkus in a while here Last edited by PiersS; 02-17-2012 at 09:36 AM. |

Slow day at work, here's my list, 32/32 with nothing listed in progress
1. Welcome to reading life 2. Facebook 3. I heart my library 4. Once upon a time 5. Not an open book 6. Scout leader 7. Deep thinker 8. Inverted comma 9. Night rider 10. Fanatic (thanks to the free StarWars books for my son ) 11. Papillon 12. Freeloader 13. The Twain Award 14. Juggernaut 15. Page turner 16. Afternoon rush hour 17. Happy hour 18. Primetime 19. Better in bed 20. Witching hour 21. Graveyard Shift 22. Eat it 23. Kill the commute 24. Sleeping in 25. I eat books for lunch 26. Playing hooky 27. Off the wall 28. Quoth the maven 29. All you can eat 30. Fully loaded 31. eReading rainbow 32. LOLZ I've got 30 awards, but have only received the Scout Leader award, no sign of Highly Decorated I've re-read a couple of short books, but no sign of Total Recall I've looked up many words in the dictionary, but can't seem to get Word Up, nor have I received Pressed for Details despite doing the long press on quite a number of books on my shelf. I'm currently reading The Return of Sherlock Holmes, which contains the phrase "The game's afoot" in hopes of getting that award My Vox didn't come with the 5 freebies, I've downloaded the 5 and hopefully will get the Classic Attack. Downloaded Sense & Sensibility + Pride & Prejudice for Lost in Austen and HG Wells Time Machine to see if that gets me Time Lord I also noticed Twisted in the list on kobo's website, which says "The Pretty Little Liars crew are back from Jamaica with even more secrets…" which indicated the Pretty Little Liars book #9, so I downloaded the preview to that, and when I was done, nothing. Is the award still valid, and if so, do we have to read the whole book.. if so, that's an award I won't be getting lol I don't read newspapers and the magazine selection is not very good, more awards I don't mind not getting.. but when I've fulfilled requirements, it's annoying that they aren't programmed in some of this is repeated info from a few pages back |

Am i wrong in assuming that if you download all these books to the KT, then you don't get the award.. it has to be done on the iphone app? This award (fully loaded) and the classic attack remain irritatingly elusive atm. |

For lost in Austen, what i did was read all five Austen books, and they're all free from the kobo bookstore. It did work, though it took a bit of time to come through. i know a lot of posts on here say you just need to read P&P and S&S, but my award (when i got it) said well done for reading 5 Austen books. (i happen to love her books so read them all). Hope that helps! As for my classic attack, i'm gonna try and read all 5 through again, but its annoying, as i've already read them, mostly on my KT, and it didn't seem to do much! Btw, does anyone have the definitive list on which 5 are needed for the classic attack? There are a few different lists out there. And some of the books (eg. Pride and Prejudice) have several different free versions on to kobo store, and so i'm wondering if i'm just reading one with the wrong cover? |
