As for the pulse question. The iOS app doesn't display where / when a user read a book. I have a feeling that this might have been something planned for the initial launch but did not make it in.
Thanks Sharkus. Don't worry, I understand the complexities of the App Store approval process.
I didn't think that Pulse on either iOS or the Vox displayed that information. The more I think about that article in the Daily Telegraph, the more mysterious it seems. There the author is, waxing poetic about Pulse, on the basis of all sorts of information that it simply doesn't display. You can't see how many people have bought a book, when they read it, where (??) they read it, etc. I would assume she was employing some poetic license (the author is a novelist after all) but then we have this mysterious quote from the Kobo vendor manager, about how the percentage of people who've actually finished a book could influence your decision to buy a copy - fine in theory, but you can't see how many have actually bought it, so why would someone from Kobo say that???
