Kobo Touch Reading Life Awards (possible spoilers)

Since I didn't know about this forum in its heyday, I missed out on a lot. From what I've read in this thread, there were quite a few book & author specific awards. I've tried to unlock the Sookie awards like Dead Reckoning, but have had no luck. Sharkus posted a very comprehensive list back in the day. You should look it up to see what you're missing. 😏



My guess is that many of these special book & author specific awards are no longer active like the old 2011 holiday awards because other iOS app awards can still be unlocked. I just unlocked LOLZ, and my Lost in Austen showed progress when I finished Pride & Prejudice the other day. Unfortunately, the reading stats are buggy on Kobo devices, so there's a limit to how many can be unlocked.



Since I reset my KA1 last night, only a dozen awards came back after restoring it. Hello Michael and 2hr are missing, but will pop back up soon if other resets are any indication. Curiously, the other time related awards never unlock.



But davidfor is correct. Fixing bugs is a tricky business. If Kobo doesn't have a team of in-house coders, then they have to get a third party to do it. They'll only pay for the most important bugs to squash. It's obvious that Reading Stats is low on their priority. Frankly, I'd rather have seamless annotation syncing between apps and devices like I have on my Kindle than have the awards functions fixed. Amazon fixed annotation syncing between apps and devices over 7-8 years ago.



And yet…I sure wish I could get Magic Kobo eReader unlocked on my iP ad. haha
