Howdy,

Just received a new Kobo device for Christmas that replaced my old one, but I'm just wondering about some oddities with the displayed reading hours.

I just finished my first book on it last night, and the reading time displayed 57.6 hours, I took a picture to share to somebody. I woke up this morning, after about 8 hours difference, and the time for the book says 68.8 hours now. I double checked by adding the BookSpecificStats=true to my config as I found suggested somewhere else in the forum.

Any idea how that could have jumped? I'm a little bit skeptical of the hours already... I mean the only thing I could think of perhaps is sometimes a line gets underlined and I can see when it's in sleep mode the context menu appears on the cover of the book, that was like that this morning... But 10 hours difference is still strange when it was most certainly about 8 hours or less between me checking it.

Hmmm..? Sometimes these niggling Kobo OS issues are annoying... and I don't like inflated stats.
