It'd be great if I could do this on my Kobo by perhaps having it pop-up a user defined reminder after a similarly user-defined interval and/or at a specific time.
I'm not sure how difficult it would be to implement, but the time at the top always seems to be correct when I press the centre of the screen, and the reading stats are aware of the time taken to progress through a book.

As nice as things like this are. The reader has surely limitations in regards to CPU and DRAM, as its primarily designed to be an eBook reader. The Kobo Glo is already a bit laggy responding to your fingertips and not always recognizing actions reliably. Kindle was much better.
So my suggestion is to priotize things and concentrate on the real required stuff for a reader. If then a little performance is left we might think about other stuff.
Do you know Acronis True Image for PC Backup/Disk Images ? Then you know what I mean. A wonderful product until they started to pump it up with functionality which is not expected/required so that at the end the total quality of the product went nada nada ... I wouldn't like this for the Kobo.
