  # in EventEngine::endReadingSession(*Volume) when recording end of reading session stats, change QDateTime::secsTo calls to a fixed value
  - ReplaceBytes: {Offset: 0x4D53A0, FindBLX: 0x425270, ReplaceH: 4F F6 FF 70} # MOV  r0, #65535
  - ReplaceBytes: {Offset: 0x4D53C0, FindBLX: 0x425270, ReplaceH: 4F F6 FF 70} # MOV  r0, #65535
Just apply it, open and close any epub book the # of hours you want / 10, then remove the patch.
Thanks for helping geek1011, but the truth is I don't know how to patch Kobo as you say!
I checked your patches but I truly don't know how to make them work. Do you perhaps have a tutorial for noobs like me?

Edit 1: Ok, I'm following your instructions at "Instructions for patching firmware 4.12.12111" (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...=reading+stats)
Hopefully I'll be able to get this going!

Edit 2: Ok, I got it to work, surprisingly! Though, the hours went up 30 instead of 10, don't know what that was about, but it was all good, thank you!
I have a question you might be able to answer: I was more interested that, every time I tagged a book as finished, the number of hours from that book would be added the book's statistics as well as the total of hours; maybe I'm being picky, but might this be something that can be done?
