Correct, the resolution has no real relationship to the DPI setting that Windows uses. But, as I have not changed from the default, I am running with the DPI at 100%. When I changed the DPI settings, there are no changes to the columns I see in Firefox, Chrome, Echo or IE.

It seems like Kobo is coding their website to remove the ability to use accessibility settings. When I use accessibility settings I do it so I can see things. A website shouldn't remove things from a screen when accessibility settings are used.
I don't really think they have done that. Or at least not deliberately. Maybe thay

Here's a screenshot showing all columns on my tablet when I remove my dpi setting - all columns are showing.
Your screen shot is missing something mine has. This is a banner above the list welcoming me to the new library. You can see this in the attached screenshot called "KoboLibrary-JavascriptEnabled.jpg". And it disappears in screenshot "KoboLibrary-JavascriptDisabled.jpg". And those file names explain what is going on.

It looks like the real difference is whether JavaScript is enabled or not. When I disabled it in Chrome (Firefox no longer has a global option to disable JavaScript), the banner disappeared and the columns changed as I changed the size of the browser window. The status and date added columns where displayed when the window was large enough. When I reenabled JavaScript in Chrome, the behaviour was the same as I was seeing in Firefox: the banner was displayed and the two columns were not displayed. But, they are displayed briefly when the page is first loaded. The same happened with IE11.

So the difference is that I am allowing JavaScript for all sites in Firefox, and you have JavaScript blocked in your browser. With what BrodieKobo said, that makes sense. Adding something in the JavaScript to hide these columns would be a lot cheaper change to make then the overall changes not to get the data and send it in the page. Especially when they will want to redisplay those column when they fix the sorting and other issues.
