I have to admit that the awards available for the Kobo ereader is anemic compared to what’s available for iOS or Android, but still what is available for my KA1 is fun, even cute, and as a completist it irks me that I can’t unlock them. ¯\(º_O)/¯
Yes, that there are awards not even available on the Kobo readers bugged me too, quite a lot actually. If anything, I would think their own devices would have the most awards available and not be missing any.

But even if they worked, unless they sync to your Kobo account somehow, if you ever need to factory reset your reader, they're all gone. I could probably live through the bugs now and then, but to have to start all over again just made them a huge irritation to me and I decided to not get involved in that mini-game of collecting and completing awards while reading.

But yes, I agree, in a perfect setup, they were fun. But that's definitely not Kobo's situation.
