But, the bookmark is probably working because you are reading epubs and these are store in two places.
Unless you have a backup of the database, the only real fix is to sign out of the Kobo account and back in. This will create an empty database and then reprocess your books. Unfortunately, this will mean you lose the book status and collections for all the sideloaded books. If you are a calibre user, you can store the reading status using my Kobo Utilities plugin, but it is probably to late to do that. And I assume you are not a calibre user as you almost definitely would have seen a database error when connecting by now.

Thanks for trying to help, but if I were you I wouldn't assume things that fast (just for the record, I know more about databases than what you might think). I'm a Calibre user indeed, and the database is not corrupt, it seems it has something to do with the update as the progress shown in the home page is the one that was at the time, and maybe a cache somewhere that is keeping that progress in the device for every specific book. It doesn't have to do with my Kobo account either. I'll probably try to play around with the reader in the summer to try to fix the issues, but it's definitely been caused by the update, and it's very annoying that it's not an isolated case and nobody at Kobo seems to care..

In my reader it doesn't matter what lighting level you are using, it goes to 1% when in sleep mode always, and to turn it off I need to use the slider from the top menu (but it'll go back to 1% on it's own eventually, so I just decided to give up and power it off when I finish reading).
I'll post updates if I can manage to fix any of the issues.
