Recently read is a bit of a misnomer. Recent added files will show up at the start of that sort. If you tap on the tile showing the number of added books, it will open the library view in recently read mode.

I tend to use the goto page number with guesstimates as to where I want to start. Since I don't have many kepubs, I'd go to page 300 of 315. Not quite right, just ahead another 5 pages or back 5 pages. And once you have found the start of that section, you can always remember the number though that may be considered as heresy in the days of expecting your computer to do all the work.

So tap on the displayed page of total pages, add 30 to the current page number, enter it on the keyboard and go there. If nothing else a simply binary divide search gets me anywhere in my collection in well under 30 taps.

The problem is for you to convince Kobo that enough of their customers would welcome those features so they would be willing to spend the dollars on developing them. I don't know how many ebooks the average Kobo owner has on their device but one number I saw for Amazon's Kindles was 27. Ask in a Mobileread forum and the number is likely to be much higher but, in my not so humble opinion, the Mobileread community does not represent the average ereader user.
