The list is kept. In the past, it has been displayed when you look up a word using the entry screen. But, I just tried that and they weren't shown. I'll have to do a little digging.

Remember that no one has to read a kepub file. When buying from Kobo, you always got the epub and the kepub formats
Yes you have the stats, but time estimation is not a real deal for me, but maybe its personal. Besides that, if you are in a 500 page book which is segregated in 400 chapters, sometimes each 5-6 pages becomes a new chapter and you wanna skip the beginning all the way to page 300, how do you do that on the kepub? That's gonna be really frustrating if all you can do is skip hundreds of chapters, chapter by chapter, until you hope to find page 300. You may try the table of contents but that wont work either because it doesnt show the page numbers, only chapter names.

unless im missing something obvious there is a big deal of limitation here

By the way, you say I have the option of using the epub, but thats an option quite limited since I dont have reading statistics and then i dont feel im getting the full immersive reading experience that made me buy a kobo glo , im losing something either way.
