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.
ok _ I was not aware of the detailed stats. ( the ones in the posted picture above) you are right I don't have those ( leastways I can't find any button that would bring them up, but as I've never had them I can't say that I miss them. So if a grab a book from the Kobo store, I should see those extra stats for that book? - I can test that with a freebie btu it's not a feature I am fussed about.

PS the justify issue that I posted about. I guess that is a fetaure of the Kobo renderer, and is controlled be the e-reader settings. I don't see it in the tablet app because it's not there! the tablet does not have that choice of J settings & it goes with the one I want, which is no hyphenation, so all is good there.

I will continue to puzzle over & test the small font issue.

I have not dared mess with the reader conf file yet. I believe you have to go there also to address the long paragraph bug, but also that you have to re-do that file whenever you allow a firmware change.
