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. |
Regarding the factory reset and reading stats--all of my books have been sideloaded and aside from registering my KA1, it's been in airplane mode continuously so no syncing statistics from the Kobo website.
Good point on sleep timeout--I do have it set up to timeout after 10 minutes, so I would at most get 10 extra minutes per reading session--no way for that to add up to the amount of reading time my Kobo shows.
