I still have absolutely no idea where you are seeing this ""I'm Reading". Can you treat me as an idiot and spell it out in detail? Or take a screenshot that shows it.

It is starting to look like Kobo did a fast update or something to the desktop reader, since I bought a couple of books in November and December and didn't have any of this nonsense with Calibre.

Kobo have not updated either the desktop application or the firmware on their devices since sometime in January. No one else is reporting anything at all like you are reporting.

I saw in this thread that quite a few people didn't like the last version that Kobo updated to on the readers (3.1.9----). I think some said they ignored it.
|
The complaints were that Kobo didn't really make any changes that helped them. But, they did change two fonts and there was a problem with these fonts that affected some people. Using any other font solved this.

Kobo told me via the Glo that if I didn't update, no books, even if I had bought them. Kobo also screamed about an older version of Desktop on Windows.

Yes, Kobo only allow syncs to their server for books if you are using the current firmware. That is their choice and is a common policy for companies so that they don't have to support a lot of different versions. I think Kobo is to Draconian with this as they force the update immediately. They should be allowing the upgrade to be delayed at least a few days in case upgrading at that time was inconvenient. But, this can be easily avoided by not syncing to Kobo and sideload all your books.
