I recently purchased a Glo (love it love it love it). I have hundreds of books which I have not yet loaded to the glo. The only books on the reader at the present time are 8 books that I purchased from Kobo. I have 7 of those read and am 79% through the 8th book. My reading statistics show that I have 63% of my library complete which is not correct. It should be closer to 90%. The 7 completed books are marked as finished so I don't know why the percent is incorrect. Any ideas anyone? Thanks in advance for any advice you may offer.

I'm wondering if this is connected to "ghost books" on your device. When I connect my Touch or Glo to Calibre, it shows books on the internal storage that do not show in the Kobo library.
The 5 I see are:
Great Expectations Charles Dickens English
Don Quixote Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra Spanish
Les Fleurs du Mal Charles Baudelaire French
Eline Vere Louis Couperus Dutch
Der Mann Im Mond Wilhelm Hauff German
All these books are from Gutenberg. If you copy the file to your PC, you can open then with Sigil and take a look at how a .kepub.epub differs from a .epbub -- things like an Android .js, the css being stored in a css folder rather than in a stylesheet folder, someone at Kobo being obsessed with "!important".
If those books are being counted into your reading percentage, it would distort your percentage in pretty much the fashion you are seeing. 63% of 12 being ~7.6 so just over half way through your eighth book.
