Some people really like the time to finish the chapter, others are achievement motivated and want to know how many books they have read etc. Not necessarily a competitive thing, just a way of keeping track. Some people just like statistics and some are attracted by the novelty and/or social networking functions. Not a thing wrong with any of these and I am sure there are other reasons.
I was attracted by the novelty but that got old fast. I suspect that it is fairly common, but I can understand a new Kobo owner being a bit excited by the possibilities for a week or so.
