When I put the reader into sleep, it only displayed the cover of the book, not any stats so maybe I miss the point here and your's display something else ?
I have to use the special reading status menu if I would to look at that.

I don't think it would be productive for me to comment on this. Especially as I have no idea of Kobo's plans or method to decide what bugs to fix or features to implement.
I understand,but I do think that when you are expanding like they did here by taking the market almost (Netherlands) you have to solve the bugs first,it is your calling card.
But there are a lot of problems.. by example, when I walk to my library I sometimes touch a book by mistake, it opens right away.
When you close it, it stays on the main menu with a big tile, showing how much percentage is read.
But you can't do a long press on it to mark it back as "not readed" or as "already finished" I do have to go into library again, look for the book I accidentially opened, be very carefull not doing it again, then in the library I have to long press, and then make a choice to mark the book as finished,or never read.
I can't do these actions on the main menu.
I can't set my main menu to display only new books, there are always a lot of readed books on it.. why.. I can say ignore this block,but then another one pops in, right between al the new books list there is a completed..make different area's for the new and readed ones,don't put them random on the main screen.
Just 2 examples about strange behave,but Kobo even didn't answer my suggestions,but implement new things that only works for a couple of people,not the mass.
