The power on time for my Kobo does not seem to be related to the number of books. The time to process the library when I do a factory reset and all 3000+ ebooks on the external uSD card takes several hours but the time from power off to power on and ready to read does not seem to change much no matter how few or many ebooks are loaded. The time from sleeping to ready to read is about the same time as it takes me to open the sleepcover. You have looked at the settings in the Settings => Sleep and Power? Try setting SLEEP and POWER OFF to Never. Though my personal choice is sleep => 15 minutes, power => never since I have found little difference in power usage between sleep and power off.

Again, check the Sleep and power settings. Uncheck show current read.

Inside the .kobo directory, locate the Kobo directory and open the Kobo eReader.conf file with an editor that understands Linux end of lines (I use Notepad++ under Windows). Locate the [FeatureSettings] heading and add FullScreenReading=true under it. If you don't find the [FeatureSettings] header, add both lines to look like:
Code:
[FeatureSettings]
FullScreenReading=true
You should now see an item under Reading settings labelled Page Layout. Remove the checkmark from the Show Header and Footer.

Good luck on that one. Personally, I just use DavidFor's Kobo Utilities to auto-dismiss some home screen tiles and simply disregard the rest. Since I mostly read epubs, I don't get that last page in the book reading stats.
Another recommendation is to do some searching on these forums. You might also want to check the various patching threads in the Kobo Developer's subforum. Yes, it takes some time but it does help to keep from asking questions that have been answered multiple times.
