That btw is what gamification generally means: The application of (video)game inspired metrics, thresholds and mechanics to non-gaming-activities.
Yes, this is what I meant. They might very well be optional now. But I didn't see them this time, and they were very apparent during my first go around with Kobo a few years ago (along with too much "social" integration if you gave them your Facebook login details). Maybe they are turned on by the "reading statistics" option now? I can't check because I no longer have a Kobo device.
