If my reader is gonna make this sound ( don't even know the kobo can make sound) i could do two things, hardwired disconnected the speaker, of buy another brand.
i like some userstats but my main goal is reading, not to be annoyed with all information on screen, it is relaxing for me, not a competition.
I find it okay when they add things like this,as long as there is a setting to put it off, for me it is not important to have those kind of statistics where u can easy fool yourself, some books are not so easy to read but they are good, but then you have to skip these or your average words per minute is dropping.
I don't want to fight with u or anyone else, but I read for pleasure, not for competition or to show my average words per minute.
That would not be fair either, I have a special form of dislectic, I see words as pictures,therefore I read very fast,but I don't actually read the words, I scan complete parts of a page, I am more busy with turning pages then reading words.. I don't even see the vowels.
