I just wanted to flag this as a potential bug.
Secondly, after making sure all my books were read so i only had the book/books i was currently reading in the 'im reading' page the software seems to have lost that information somewhere in between updating the library and syncing to the kobo... resulting in me loosing my f*cking page on 3 books and also loading up all my books into the 'im reading' page again.
Is this a bug as well, or did i cock something up?

Various rooster-related comments notwithstanding...
There's no reason why this should be the case.
(But you probably saw that coming
) There are parts of the app which use only locally stored data, and other parts which call out to a server. The store, the sign in process, creating an account, are such call-outs and are often subject to slow downs. Whereas reading, browsing your book collection are examples of local-only tasks. Are you finding both slow at all times and having them speed up when you connect the eReader?
We do know that there are some performance issues when connecting to our servers from down under, but the local stuff should work fine.
