for the kepubs that I have sent via your plug in I see a &% read an an estimate of number of hours to go, per book. but only on the kepubs , not on the epubs that were sent without using your plug in. is ttat feature at-risk if I allow a firmware upgrade to latest 3.2 ?

There's two types of stats. The ones we lost (and are mostly quite unhappy about losing!) are the detailed in-book stats including bar graphs representing the length of each chapter, as well as estimated times remaining to finish both the current chapter and the next chapter. The stats you're seeing were (obviously enough) not removed, and they have their own utility (such as letting me know if I could finish a book before my wife starts telling me I'm staying up too late ), but they're pretty basic and you don't get the same detail as before. I think the detailed stats are still available if you edit your 'Kobo Reader.conf' file and long-press on a book in the library view (davidfor/PeterT, is that right?).

If you upgrade to 3.2.0 you'll keep the basic stats you see now.
