For the book I'm currently reading--at 75% complete, it shows 2 hours remaining which seems about right to me. But it shows that I've spent 34.7 hours reading for the current book, which is wildly overstated. It also shows that I've spent a total of 1586 hours reading on my KA1 since I last did a factory reset--probably about a year ago. That would mean I've spent about 4.5 hours each and every day for the last year reading on my KA1. Unfortunately, I don't have that much time to spend reading--and making that number even more preposterous is the fact that I spend about half my reading time reading on my Kindle Voyage and about half on the KA1.

If you are reading books from Kobo and syncing, then doing a factory reset won't completely wipe the time spent reading. Some of this is synced to Kobo and will be brought back from there. Or at least it used to
I did do a sign-out on one of my devices recently, so I'll check what is on them tonight.
And for the discussion on the cover, if you also have the sleep timeout configured, even if something happens that the cover doesn't trigger the sleep, then this should. And that time will get counted as reading time for the book. So, if you have the sleep timer set to 60 minutes and rely on that, you get an extra hour in each reading session.
